My neck hurts so bad that if I try and turn my head, my neck stiffens up and it shoots pain

Ooooh, I've had that before. For me it was sleeping wrong on it. Should go away naturally in time. If it doesn't then you should see a doctor/chiropractor. You might be able to reduce the pain with some stretching. I'm not qualified for instruction, though. :/

Maybe you need a massage? Aloe and lotus would do? Or maybe you need a more intense treatment >=3
