Strained neck muscles - need advice!

Desperate for advice here. Strained neck muscles at the base of my skull while exercising one month ago. First 2 weeks the pain was unbearable. It's now been 4 weeks and I still have a lot of tenderness at the injury site and soreness in the muscles extending from the site going towards the front of my neck. I feel like I've hit a plateau in terms of the area healing and am depressed I'll never fully recover from what seems to be severe tear/strain? Getting an MRI tomorrow.

Is it unusual to be in a lot of pain 4 weeks post-injury? Have any of you had experience with a soft-tissue injury in this area?
