Hello there. Your neck muscles are not in very good shape. You need neck physiotherapy. Consult a orthopedician also and get a xray done. And then take a physiotherapist's help in this condition. You can take a pain killer like aceclofenac and thiocolchicoside combination it will ease the pain and relax the muscles. But don't ignore the advice on physiotherapy. All the best. Re
