Don't go to a doctor, just have an African Voodoo Priest make you cry Spiders, then it wont hurt anymore.

You definitely need to go have an xray done. You could have broken your collar bone or cracked one of your cervical discs. This could be very serious if it is not treated. When you go to the hospital they will probably do either an xray or an MRI. What they would do after that depends on what your tests show. If it is merely sprained they will probably put a soft collar around your neck and give you some pain medicine. I would definitely get this checked out as soon as possible.

They'll take some x-rays to make sure there's no damage to your spinal column and eliminate any possible risk of paralysis.

rest it.
