This has happened to me a few times, and yes, it is painful. Most likely it is just a muscle strain, and you will need to rest your neck, and apply heat as needed for short intervals. If it lasts for more than a few days, you will need to see your doctor as it could be something more serious such as a herniated cervical disc in your neck. If you experience any other symptoms such as pain or numbness/tingling in either shoulders or arms, you will need to see your doctor asap for tests.
It should heal with rest, Tylenol or Advil, and a heating pad set on low. The heating pad will relax the muscles. It is advised not to use ice on your neck, however... I still use it for short periods of time. Also, please remember that if any method of pain relief makes your pain worse, cease use immediately and consult your doctor. I hope you feel better soon.
