Hi and thanks for the query

This is a very common problem among computer users, you need to modify or change your computer workstation with the help of occupational therapist or do it by yourself. You can take help from OSHA website.
for neck pain and stiffness, you need to do some changes in lifestyle
- take rest for 5 minutes after every 30 minutes,
- do regular neck exercise,
- while working, try to keep your neck and back in resting position
- sometime a soft neck coller may help
If require, you can take over the counter available painkiller ointment or paracetamol
Hope this helps and provides answers to your question.
