What Causes Pain In The Neck,back And Shoulder After Waking Up?

i m a 60 yr old female in relatively good health. For some time now, when I wake up in the morning I have back of the neck pain, shoulder pain and it takes a couple of hours after being up when things start to loosen up. The neck pain lessens as the day wears on but never goes away. I feel a slight bump starting to form at the top of my spine. Osteoprosis?
