this is the pain due to nerve compression at the neck or cervical area.the pain occurs wherever the compressed muscle supplies.As you are a CA , so it can be one of the reason. the sitting ,table work and work on PC creates the problem and worsen it.

go for physitherapy..ultrasonic therapy for healing,tens for muscle relaxation and heat therapy for reducing inflammation may required+cervical traction if required . take rest. then the exercises are to be done and very much important.

In my opinion this is a muscular pain as it has increased after sneezing... in this there is a technique known as dry needling will work the best in conditions like this... a needle will be inserted at the intramuscular level...and there will be a muscle twitch will occur and ur spasm will get released... followed by col fermentation... in this there are instant results...if u dnt want to go for this technique then physio modalities will work u can go for ift/ US and hot pack...get well soon.. take care
Next Steps
U need to find out a physiotherapist who practices this technique
