Hello,
Risperidone does not cause nerve pain as a side effects based on evidence studies. So, in my opinion the nerve pain is not related to Risperidone. In my opinion, it can be a pinched nerve in the neck. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.
Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
