Hello Gabby,
Welcome at HCM.
I have read complete details of your question.It looks from your details that most probably you are having spine problem at your neck & at mid part of spine.
At this age the common reason for present problem is cervical strain or abnormal posture at back.For cervical strain you should do following-
-Avoid forward bending posture for long time.
-If you are doing a lot of computer work then reduce the hours & take frequent breaks.
It does not seem reasonable or realistic to suggest some suitable solutions, with the incomplete information provided here...You have not stated your personal habits, family history or co-morbidities, gender...
The best option will be to get yourself examined by a General Surgeon / or Orthopaedician
Have relevant basic investigations...
In the mean time, Rest to the part & avoiding weight bearing is important
Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs like ibuprofen reduce pain & inflammation
Cold compress in first days / later warm compress - help
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
