Does it feel better when you lie down on your back? If not, it's probably a pulled muscle. It should get better in a few days. Ice applied for 15 minutes at a time a couple of times per day should help. Take some anti-inflams.

Does the pain let up somewhat when you lie down? Hmmm...could be you tweeked your spine. See a chiropractor, or don't.. That's a whole other discussion. Ice/heat/anti-inflams should also help.

This sounds odd, but find a table or desk or something that you can lay on. Hang the upper part of your torso (and head/ neck obviously) off the side and relax. Aside from the blood rushing to your head, does it feel better? If so, you tweeked your spine.

A non-chiropractic thing you can do - buy one of those big-ass Pilates balls. Lay on it with your head hanging down. Ta DA! Traction!
