hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history.

A thorough clinical examination is advised. As you are feeling some sort of Tightness in the neck region it can be muscle spasm. Also the back of the neck contains bones called vertebrae and the front of it contains cartilages. What I am understanding by your history is the spasm of the muscles of the front of the neck which is making you discomfort . This can be related to cramps but with a thorough clinical examination and some diagnostic tests for thyroid can help understand the matter better.
