How To Cure Pain In The Upper Back And Lower Shoulder?

I was playing dodgeball in gym class and overthrew my arm but immediately my neck hurt but i was still able to throw. Now, a day later my neck isn't as bad but a muscle in my upper back an lower shoulder hurts very bad. I have sports practice today and I don't know if I should go. Also I heated my neck yesterady and iced it this morning.
