Do you have your work area set up so your posture is good? Why not try doing some of those sit behind the desk type excercises that you can do throughout the day to keep your muscles from getting stiff?
I'd go with the ice too. My brother is a chiro and he's the one that told me that heat is rarely the answer to back or neck pain.
It might be worth going to see either a doc, physio or chiro though. Especially if the pain is that intense. There could be more to it than just muscle soreness.
