Arthritis, disk-related pain and myofascial pain syndrome are other common causes of a crick in the neck. A crick in the neck may not be solely confined to the neck. The pain may radiate down to the shoulder or all the way down to the back and will make it difficult to turn your head in one or more directions.
Examples of common conditions causing neck pain are degenerative disc disease, neck strain, neck injury such as in whiplash, a herniated disc, or a pinched nerve. Neck pain can come from common infections, such as virus infection of the throat, leading to lymph node (gland) swelling and neck pain. This can also cause muscle spasms in the neck and shoulder areas. 2  Tendonitis: The tendons connect the muscles to the bones. 3  With strain, the tendons can become swollen and cause pain. 4  This is also referred to as tendinitis. 5  Gallbladder disease: This can cause a pain referred to the right shoulder.
