A member asked:

My neck is hurting is there something more that could be wrong ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: Without a history of trauma, neck pain is usually caused by poor posture, muscle spasm, a bad disc or joint, or an irritated nerve in the neck. Sometimes neck pain can be a sign of cardiac issues so see your doctor if this pain lasts greater than 2 weeks or gets worse.
