That sure sounds like a migraine to me. Moist heat can reduce the stiffness.

yes yes yes - its all connected.
Physical therapy for the neck
muscle relaxors when needed
Yoga works fantastic too....

Go see the neurologist, he may have more ideas for you.
good luck-

I think my neck is actually the cause of a lot of my migraines, plus if I miss a lot of sleep. WIth my neck I find rubbing it with something like "deep cold" muscle rub helps.
