How Can Pain Behind The Neck Be Treated?

I thought I slept on my neck wrong because I have had pain in the back of my neck. Last night everything got worse. I was woken from sleep with pain in my neck and head and I was unable to lift my head. Also vomited. I feel like there is a lump in the back kind of behind my ear. It also hurts towards the back of my neck when I swallow. Pain goes up into the base of my skull. VERY uncomfortable and I m very concerned about this.

Hi
Thanks for trusting healthcaremagic for your health problems.

As per your description it seems like stiffness of neck muscle because of wrong sleeping technique.
Take Tablet Diclofenac + Chlorzoxazone 12 hourly.
Apply hot fomentation over neck.
Use soft pillow while sleeping.
Within 24 hours it will be ok.

Regards
Dr. Hiren
