Disc related?: Sometimes, sensory symptoms occur with sneezing when there is a herniated or slipped disc. The disc puts pressure on the nerves that serve the area where you are having symptoms. A prior neck injury might increase your risk of degenerative changes that cause nerve compression, made more pronounced with sneezing. I think it's reasonable to have this checked out by your doctor. Good luck.

Pinched nerve: Sounds like a violent sneeze might be resulting in a pinched nerve in your neck. Try to sneeze more gently.
