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.
Neck pain can also be caused by an injury. A fall from a ladder or whiplash from a car accident can cause neck pain. Some less common medical problems can also lead to neck pain, such as: An infection in the neck. Narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck (cervical spinal stenosis). Rheumatoid arthritis.
