Answer
First, let me apologize for the lateness of my reply.  I was on vacation and forgot to set an away message.  Somewhere along the line, you caused a strain or sprain in the neck.  If you haven't had it checked by a chiropractor, do so.  A good one will Xray, and should be able to help with the pain that you feel.
