Though with the presented complaints, it looks like a case of muscle spasm. But unfortunately without proper consultation it would be not possible to be sure of that. Please consult a physiotherapist for this.
Next Steps
Needs consultation
Health Tips
Don't overwork your shoulder and neck muscles. It would increase the pain. Try cold pack application instead of hot.

Your pain could be due to neck muscle spasm. You should give hot water fomentation for 10-15 minutes twice a day. You can use volini gel or spray provided you are not allergic. You should do neck stretching and strengthening exercises with proper guidance.
Next Steps
If the pain persist or aggrevates you should consult a Physiotherapist in person for complete assessment and treatment.

Proper assessment needed, visit nearby physiotherapy clinic for proper assessment and treatment, due to improper posture the pain is increasing. If after waking from the bed in the morning the pain is severe then need to change pillow if not other issues.
