It seems like a simple case of Trapezitis.it's just tightening of muscles due to muscular imbalance. It happens as a result of a bad posture at work / home on overuse of desktop / laptops / cellphones and using multiple pillows while sleeping.This problem has gradually risen over the years because of this bad posture.
At times you might have headaches, vertigo and shoulder pain as well
Though this problem is very simple to solve, it is very irritating and tiring, physically and mentally for the person involved.
Normally in my answers I suggest home remedies first but since you have a chronic problem you need to go see a physio.
Next Steps
Physiotherapy treatment :
SWD & ultrasonic therapy to loosen the muscles and you might require cervical traction as well.
Treatment will take 15-20 days.
Health Tips
-follow neck ergonomics
-take hot pack at home even though you have started with physio
