Would doing some chest press and curls be okay for someone with a stiff and painful neck?

No, it would make it worse for me. I think I might try massaging the neck muscles to loosen up the muscle spasms and tightness. Take a couple aspirin, like Bayer Back and Body seems to work for us. Next if things are beginning to loosen up nicely, try some unweighted shoulder rolls if that loosens things up try adding an unweighted barbell working up by 5 pound increments. Don't resume your normal weight training until the "catch" is totally gone.

Definitely not. It could really worsen your neck. Try going to a chiropractor

No, that will make it worse. Try some Comfrey ointment and rest.
