one of the following conditions: Degenerative Disc Disease
Thediscsare thefluidfilledsacsbetween thebonesof yourneck.Thenormalagingprocessshrinks thediscs and dries them out. Repeated stress and strain also weakens the tissues that make up a disc. When this happens, the disc loses its ability to absorb shock. In turn, this causes rubbing and changes in the shape of the joints in your neck, which can be painful. Muscle Strain When there is an injury to the neck or you overuse the shoulder and neck muscles, a strain can occur. When this happens, the neck muscles may go into spasm to help support and protect the sore area.
