What Is The Cause Of A Stiff Neck?

I have a stiff neck, have a hard time turning it to the right side, almost feels hung up. Sometimes it is very painful and I feel tingling down my right arm if I turn it too far. If I press on my neck at the very top, right near my head, I can feel hard areas that I press and I could scream. What do you think?

There might be having some osteophytes formation giving this problem as well.
