Suggest Treatment For Severe Neck Pain

I have had severe neck pain going on 3 weeks now. I thought it was just a crick in my neck but it seems to be getting worse. The pain is on the left side and radiates down my shoulder and scapula. Also, I have a horrible habit of cracking my neck. Could I have done something?
