Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that you may have spasm of one of the muscles in the neck.
This would cause the abnormal noise and intense pain that you are experiencing.
Treatment with involve: (1) warm compress to the area to encourage muscle relaxation
(2)pain medication such as ibuprofen, naproxen, cataflam
(3)muscle relaxant such as soma, flexeril, robaxin
It can sometimes take a few days for improvement to occur.
I hope this helps
