This is tricky.

I would first recommend you actually see a doctor (not the chiropractor) about this if it is chronic.

This would need more information though to give any ideas for treatment.  For instance, is this from repetitive motion to the area, a one time accident, stress?  Is this muscular or a change/chipping to bones.

This is why you need to please see a doctor. 

You can try steambaths, saunas, breathing exercises and light stretching exercises.  This is assuming it's muscular.

Outside of this, there are natural muscular relaxant suppliments you can try.  However, visit your doctor first.  If, for some reason, you are also taking any natural suppliments/herbs/etc for this, please tell your doctor which ones.

Best of luck.  I wouldn't want to wish this pain on anyone.

It may be skeletal and then you'll need some professional help. If You have a muscle cramp (they can get really bad sometimes) try keeping the area warm and loosen it up by moving around.

As JtotheA said, first see a doctor to rule out serious problems.

You should really see a chiropractor first, to make sure it's nothing more than just a sore neck...save up for it!! your health is one of the most important things to take care of!!...one of those contour pillows could help, the memory foam type is the best..I use one myself..
