Hello.For nerve pain, Gabapentin and Hydrocodone are effective drugs.
For neck pain after trauma, antiinflammatory and muscle relaxants are the most commonly used drug for that condition.In my opinion Diclofenac 50 mg thrice a day+Diazepam 5 mg at night can be taken for treating your neck pain. Please consult your local doctor for a prescription.
I wish you good health.
