Suggest Treatment For Severe Neck Pain

A tearing sound in my neck woke me up last night, and I have had terrible pain on that side of my neck since - it has kept me in bed all day barely able to move. At times it feels like the muscle is tightening up and causes shooting pain. I have been taking Excedrine and alternating ice and heat. What could this be and what should I do for it?
