Have you tried ice on the neck? Use it for 20 minutes every 2 hours. It usually helps me. And if you have a soft collar, wear that. I swear by mine. After I've put it on for awhile, it usually settles the neck down and eases the pain. Maybe if you got one and tried it, it will help you too! Just thought I'd mention it.
Best of luck & God bless. I hope your pain eases. Hugs, Lee
