Brief Answer: Muscle spasms Simple management Detailed Answer: hello Miss XXXX! Thank you for asking and i want you to know that the kind of injury you have is because of the work out and strenuous activity you are on and it looks like a muscle spasm or strain. As one week has passed by it and there is a little relief with still some trouble, i believe you need to give your neck absolute rest, use low lying pillows for sleep and some good skeletal muscle relaxant like tizanidine. Other options that may help are massage therapy, acetaminophen, some topical NSAID creams and palm oils Massages and maybe good specialist hands of a physiotherapist. To be on the safer side, a Radiograph of the neck both frontal and lateral views with a sports medicine specialist to rule out any trauma. But odds of that are less/ negligible but still better to be out of woods and last but not the least avoidance of strenuous work-outs to stay out of trouble. Stay healthy and Keep taking very good care of yourself. Hope I was of some help. If you want to ask any more question, Please feel free to. I would Love to answer them. Other wise I request you to kindly close the discussion and rate the answer as per your experience. May the odds be ever in your favor. Regards S Khan
