As per the Doctor mentioned about the treatment, it seems the issue is related to your day to day exposure to workload and posture you carry all round the day.
Kindly visit any physical therapist near you to thoroughly assess the problem and provide a regiment which will be more efficient in countering the pain. Then you can start with sports participation.
Next Steps
visit the nearest physiotherapist/ physical therapist

Do neck isometric exercises by consulting physical therapist, hot pack twice a day and maintaining proper posture is more important to avoid pains.
Visit physiotherapy clinic and take electeotherapy for 10 days, the pain will be reduced.
