What Causes Neck Muscle Pain?
my son was stretching this morning as he woke up to get something to drink. He said he heard a wierd noise - different that if you popped your neck. Now he has pain on the right side of his neck going down his shoulder. I have given him some ibroprophen and put icy/hot on the area. Thinking it is a pulled muscle or pinched nerve. What do you think?

Hello,
as long as, he has no symptoms in his legs, and no reduced force of paralyzed arms it sounds harmless. I would also give him Ibuprofen, and physiotherapy if it persists for more than a couple of weeks.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
