Muscle relaxers help, if you can get them...but you'll be in a haze for days.
Otherwise, the only and best thing you can do is complete bed rest. Lay still for hours and hours at a time. The muscle will relax on it's own. Do not get a massage, that only irritates the muscle and can make things worse. A heating pad will help, but don't over cook your neck.
It will take at least 2-3 days of pure rest, then at least a full week of not making full movements.
Most of these pinch neck nerves are the result of stress. While you are relaxing review the things at are making you stressed out and come to terms with them or it will happen again.
The body can only take so much stress (mental and physical) and this is your body's way of saying "enough." The mind paralyzes your body to force you to stop doing things that are damaging the body and mind. Your conscience mind is not in control of the inner workings of your body. When your inner mind sends you a message (the pinched nerve) listen to the warning and change what you are doing wrong.
