Hello please go for a cervical MRI. There could be a possibility that you have spasm over your trapezius muscle which on compression gives you pain. Please mentions if you have any pain in your arm or any tingling and numbness too. For the time being postural correction is the only thing I will suggest you as of now: change your neck position every hour. Close your eyes and take three deep breaths to relax and improve the blood circulation keep your system at eye level. Hot pack over the pain area.
