Hello,
If you are being given valium for your neck pain then I must say that it is not the right medicine. It can reduce your stress levels and thus will help in relaxing your neck muscles.
It is advisable to take Ibuprofen along with a muscle relaxant such as chlorzoxazone which will help in reducing your neck pain significantly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
