Pain in the neck can be due to injury, a mechanical or muscular problem, a trapped nerve caused by a bulge in one of the discs between the vertebrae or from arthritis  of the neck.

Other causes are trauma or worry and stress, falling asleep in an awkward position,  prolonged use of a computer keyboard.  Sudden whipping motion causes injury to the surrounding and supporting tissues of your neck and head. Muscles react by tightening and contracting, creating muscle fatigue that results in pain and stiffness.

Most leg pain results from sudden or long-term damage to a bone, muscle, ligament or tendon, but other conditions can also cause leg pain. Vascular disorders, for instance, can cause blood clots in your legs.

Trauma is the most obvious cause of leg pain. Falls, near falls, and twisting injuries can damage bones, muscles, and joints or a combination of all three. Pain from an injury to the back can inflame the sciatic nerve and cause pain that radiates down the leg.
