I'm so sorry D: I've had this kind of back/neck pain, and it sucks. A lot.

1) Do some range-of-motion exercises (basically, slowly moving your head back and forth, or up and down -- light neck stretches) in a hot shower.

2) If you cannot get muscle relaxants, heavy doses of NSAIDs will work, too. Just be careful to take them with food. Seriously, three or four ibuprofen tablets at a time won't kill you as long as you're only taking them every now and then as opposed to on a regular basis.

3) Heating pad, if you have it.

4) Rolled-up towel at the base of your pillow. This will give your neck something to rest on while you sleep.
