Have you been tested for Strep throat and mono? Do you have swollen lymph nodes in your neck? Do you have a fever and if so how high has it been? Do or did you have a rash?
I'm not sure if the soar throat has anything to do with it but it sounds like you have something neurological going on there.
I had a Strep but it went away and I didnt take any Meds for it, I can feel a tiny lymph node in my neck, and no fever but my my whole neck hurts.
I'm not sure what is causing the whole neck to be sore. I know swollen lymph nodes can be very painful. I guess a trip to the doc is in order. They may want to do a CAT scan of the neck.

You had "Strep" and you took "nothing" for it? That doesn't make any sense.
Sounds like whatever you think you were over is lingering; viral in my opinion based on the sore throat for a month and the generalized (overall) muscle pain.
I would agree with mkh9 and recommend you get a viral panel done in particular checking for Mono and a throat culture done in particular checking for Strep.
I agree with Londres70, about having "strep" and not taking anything not making sense. If you had strep they would have given you something. If you didn't go to the doctor for it you would have because it is so painful you can't stand it. The rest is the same as her post and my last couple. Let us know how it goes.
