Kinking: If your neck is kinked or twisted in a severe way, it is possible to block blood flow in a carotid artery which may lead to a stroke. However, fortunately this is a rare occurrence. Your neck discomfort was from sort of strain and won't cause a stroke as it would have occurred at the time of neck kinking.
