Likely you have a muscle spasm, usually due to unexpected move. Start with local spray and hot water bottle. You can take OTC meds Paracetamol and Ibuprofen. Move as much as possible, I know its painful!!! you still have to

Hello There.
I can understand your concern. its neither a nerve nor a vein.
its a muscle pull/spasm.
as of now, you can take a muscle relaxant pain killer like tab. zerodol-th8 once or twice a day after food as per your pain severity.
in 3 day, it will subside.
after that, you need to do neck muscle strengthening exercises daily.
Best regards
Dr. Anil kumar jain.
