Most likely: Postural abnormality leading to altered alignment of thoracic vertebrae or unequal strain on small tendons and muscles attached to the thoracic vertebrae again due to postural imbalance.

It is most likely: Related to your cervical spine condition as this region is asssociated with neck problems or it could be shoulder related so see your physician if it is affecting you.
