Injury?: It might be a muscle spasm which could transfer from the neck to the shoulder. This could be triggered by injuries, abnormal movements, or also if you have been recently sick the muscles can be sore after the illness. Treatment with warm and cold packs and anti inflammatory medication can help with symptoms.

Neck pain: Neck pain is very common. Sounds like you are experiencing some muscle spasms as well. Any history of trauma? I would try a heating pad and continue using ibuprofen. Message can also help. Try to identify things in your everyday life that could be putting extra strain on your neck.
