Hi,
Repetitive strain and intervertebral disc prolapse can be the issue. Avoid high pillows and use an Orthopedic pillow while sleeping. You can also use a soft cervical collar while working to avoid strain. I would suggest NSAIDs like Ibuprofen along with Muscle relaxants like Cyclobenzaprine. Physiotherapy like TENS and neck muscle strengthening exercises will be helpful.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
