Hello Kimberly,
A pain in the neck could be anything from a muscle spasm as you put it to a problem in the vertebral discs. More frequently however, it is a muscle spasm usually due to either exposure to cold or due to muscle strain (as in long hours spent working on the computer).
If its improving then wait and see what happens. If new symptoms arise or it doesnt improve then you should have it examined.
