neck stiffness and pain

neck stiffness and pain

Two days ago my neck seized up and is becoming progressively stiffer.  I need to turn my entire torso as turning my head is very painful.  I have no fever.... 99 degree F.  I am not nauseous.  I have discomfort when I swallow but my throat is not really what you'd call sore.  I did see my DR.  He took X-rays and said it is not arthritis.  He gave me a treatment with heat, an anti-inflamatory shot and some other kind of shot (don't know what that was for) that eased me somewhat but then it got worse again.  I have never had this happen before and had not injured my neck nor did I have any warning... it just came on suddenly.
