Suggest Treatment For Severe Neck Pain

I have severe neck pain all the time for months now. On the right side of my neck, about the hairline is a quarter size knot that when pressed on is painful and makes me feel ill. My neck hurts the most when it's forward upright position. Sometimes there is a burning sensation around the back of my neck also. What are your suggestions?
