Hello,

It looks that a very hard massage was given.Probably it had traumatized your soft tissues at your neck. I shall advise you following to have relief in this:
- Wear a soft cervical collar to give rest to soft tissues
- Take a good analgesic like tylenol for relief of pain
- Avoid hard working and continuous sitting in front of computer
- Consult to your doctor if numbness at your face or ear area increases or problem does not resolve.In such cases in my OPD I used to give mild steroid preparation to relieve from edema on soft tissue.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
