What Does Pain In The Neck And Between The Shoulders Indicate?

About 2 weeks ago I woke up with pain in neck. The pain lessened throughout the day but same level the next morning. Changing pillow helped a lot but now have pain between shoulder blades and some less severe neck pain. When turning head I sometimes feel/hear crunching.
