OK....no, don't do that without seeking some real medical advice first.
C-spine is some serious s***! Don't play games and guesswork. I had some relatively minor neck issues at one point about 5 years ago at 50 y/o. Had some PT and traction therapy and went on with life. A bit over 3 years ago, I was having low back issues (still do) and sought PT. I wasn't riding bikes yet and my legs were weak and wasting even though I was walking 3 miles everyday as prescribed by PT. I spent Superbowl Sunday 2013 in the ER because my legs literally completely disconnected from my brain. I couldn't walk but I was able to stand. A week later I was under the knife of a fantastic neurosurgeon getting a 2 level fusion and Ti plate installed at C5-C7. Stenosis caused huge spinal cord damage. I got about 90% back over a year long recovery after the surgery. This all lead me to getting on a MTB for recovery and now Road. I was lucky, they were able to fix it. Don't mess with these pains on your own, go seek some medical advice and maybe you can get onboard with some proper PT to teach you how to properly maintain mobility in your neck.
