this sounds like a pinch nerve. i get these all the time, usually cause i slept on it funny.. it should go away in like 2-4 days... its annoying but it is bareable, try taking some advil for it... if its not better by day 5 then see a docter

Stiff neck, I would ice it with a t-shirt material over skin the ice-pack on top of t-shirt material. 20 min. on and 20 off. Do this
for about 3 or 4 times. As often as possible. Take Ibuprofen.
And a heated sports cream. Do light yoga or stretch exercises. Also lay on your back on the floor with carpet or yoga mat. Rise your arms above your head and stretch, to straighten out back about 15 min. This routine should go for about a few days to a week. As long as you ice your neck and back area you can use a heating pad at night when you go to sleep. And when you awake in the morning. If you can find someone to give you a neck & back rub that would also help.
Most important is ice, heat & streatch.
