Hello,
I have studied your case. I think that you may have hurt your neck muscles and ribs. A possibility of rib fracture can not be rule out. So I would recommend you following.
1.Get chest x ray and cervical spine x ray to confirm the diagnosis.
2.If there is any rib fracture than you need to take rest, pain killers and ointment like Volini gel local application.
3.If there is some injury in neck than you might need rest with cervical collar.
4.In both condition X ray is a must for diagnosis.
I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
