Why does my neck hurt?

Why does my neck hurt?

• i noticed it when i had pain when liftin my head from layin on my back. its on the left side and its by where the big vain in my throat goes down with that muscle that lifts the head and neck. it feels uncomfortable and almost swollen. i had held my head up in the bath tub but i didnt think itd cause that. i dont think that could cause it cuz im pretty sure its never done that this bad if it has at all. i also held myself up with my left arm while workin on my car. it looked the next day like my car beat me up. i had bruises on my arms and legs real bad. anyway, why would it hurt this bad? i would barely lift my head last night. i think its slightly better today but not really and i feel like its weak and cant lift my head right. what should i do? oh and my ribs on that side hurt too! or like where my shoulder connects to them.
