Some days my shoulder/neck area gets a sharp pain in it, when i lift things. or reach. what could it be? sometimes it's so bad i could cry

Hard to say.: This could be as simple as a strain of your trapezius muscle or a rotator cuff injury or perhaps neural impingment at your neck. If its causing that much pain you should see someone.
