I hurt my neck in soccer what should I do?

I had a game today and was tackled to the ground from the back, it was unexpected so I fell oddly and my neck cranked completely to the left. My neck ached for the rest of the game and every header from then on was very painful. Now I am at home and the muscles on the left side of my neck are extremely tense and any movement to the left or to the far right puts me in agonizing pain. Also my head is tilted to the right and it will not straighten.

Maybe you should take painkillers now.
