I suffered severe pain in the neck for about 2 weeks, and from my experience here's my explanation about it.
Cessation of a long time in one position can also cause, or even simply numb. Stress can manifest itself in tension in your neck muscles. A back injury or whiplash also can lead to a stiff neck. Also, consider your television-watching habits and your sleep habits. Those who sleep in uncomfortable positions with an unsuitable pillow can be subjecting themselves to the risk of a stiff neck. Sitting too forward while watching television puts strain on the smaller muscles in your neck.

Treatment Options
Apply a muscle ointment or liniment along the sore neck muscles, and take a pain reliever like Advil, Tylenol, or any, but don't forget to ask your doctor or Pharmacist
Within the first two or three days of neck pain, you also can apply an ice pack or cool compress. After a few days, use a heating pad.
After one week and it still hurts If you believe stress is the cause, work on relaxing through massage, yoga, a hot bath, a hot shower, and even aromatherapy or acupuncture. If the pain is moderate to severe and persists despite icing and heating the area, see a doctor, who may run a series of tests. He also may prescribe muscle relaxers to ease the tension.
