Interestingly, I think I had a similar issue with my back during PBP. It felt a lot better to point my torso to the left. Didn't hurt if I rode normally, it just felt better the other way.
I have done some light weight work and that seems to help my neck in general
Not just any bent, but one with a very upright seat, like the Gold Rush posted a photo of. Nobody gets Shermer's neck with their torso close to 90 degrees (90 = vertical).
