There's a chance you've been holding a different posture or sleeping differently since the accident to protect yourself, thus creating a muscle imbalance. It sounds like a muscle strain in the levator scapula, the muscle that connects your cervical spine to your shoulder blade. Could be the upper trapezius too but mine is always levator.

Your physio will put you through some tests to determine what exactly is hurting you though. Expect to be given exercises to strengthen weakened muscles and stretches to elongate shortened muscles.

I am not a medical professional, just someone who gets hurt a lot and then studies why I am hurt.
