Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
I have studied your case and I think it is never a right choice to get your neck massage as some time it can cause disc herniation and nerve compression. I think you are lucky because you have developed only neck spasm. I would suggest you to show it to a doctor for indentation. it can be due to fluid collection. I would recommend you to take muscle relaxant like Myospaz or Myoril tablet for relaxing this spasm. Hot water fomentation and Voletran ointment is also helpful.
Avoid keeping neck in same position for long time and using very high pillow. Also do not do any jerky activity.
