About a month ago I started getting cricks on the right side of my neck after workouts.....sharp stabbing pain on moving my head that stretches from top of the shoulder to behind my ear. It seems to be getting worse. I've been working on improving my catch and early vertical forearm, and the pain started about when I thought I'd finally gotten it right (got faster, too!). But I also increased my stroke rate and bilateral breathing (more breathing to the right, not always just left), confounding the picture. Does anyone know about this, or have any thoughts? Thanks

Another thing it could be is transient pain from a pinched nerve under your scapula. Get a massage and have them focus under there or to do it yourself, take a tennis ball, put it between your scapula and a wall and work it up and down. If you find a knot, press on it gently, but firmly, just enough to hold tension on it. Work on it a few days and you may find that the knot and your neck pain should go away after a bit. Ice/ibuprofin as well.
