I think you're trying to hard to get something right

Just stop, take a breath and play. Don't worry if you mess up.

well it would be hard to say without actually seeing your practice position...but it sounds like your head is staying in one spot then getting sore....just like sleeping in the same position all night without moving will leave you sore and stiff, so to will practing...i can almost see it now...staring at your frett hand without moving hour head...or always turning your eyes to the left to peak at your frett hand. man my neck hurts just thinking about it. So if your reading sheet music the idea is to watch the music not your frett hand, like typing, you should be looking at the screen not the keyboard, when i prctice i move around, i use a chair and foot rest with classical, i sit on the couch with the dog when im just messing around, i like to stand up while i rip scales and so on and so on. i feel your pain though, i used to get sharp pains on the left side(in the Dr. spock pinch zone) and it was from staring at my frett hand to much. good luck, im going to get a back rub now...my neck hurts
