Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Pain and stiffness in neck are mostly due to cervical spine and vertebrae related pathology.
You are also having pin point pain in neck. This also favors cervical spine pathology more.
So get done x ray and MRI of cervical spine for the diagnosis.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
