20, my neck hurts after sitting in the same position for a long time and not moving neck pain now gone after moving it. will this cause arthritis?

Neck pain: Unlikely that what u r describing will lead to arthritis. If your condition is without a history of trauma and of recent onset it can be some muscle tightness or spasm. Try stretching gently and putting your head and neck thru some simple movements every 20 min.
