I've been having chronic pain on the left side of my neck for 2 days. It hurts constantly and its hard to move my neck. The pain seems to be isolated to one particular area. I haven't had any injuries. My pain started Monday w/ a really bad headache. Then by night my headache eased a little and I started having neck pain.

neck pains are caused mainly by two things...one thing..is posture..second thing is the movement of ur neck.If u move ur neck in a very rogh and tuf way...then obviously ot wil ache.But most of the time..its the POSTURE!!
if u hav a comp..or a tv at home..then dont watch both of them for a long time..there are chance of geting neck pain..at the same time do not lie down or sit in any awkward posture...

Yes, it's caused by tight neck muscles. When your neck muscles are tight they restrict everything going in and out of your head, including the blood. When there is a reduced blood flow to the brain you will also end up with a lowered oxygen level there. You will know the oxygen level has dropped by feeling very tired. If the level drops more you will get dizzy, vertigo. If it drops more you will pass out. The neck muscles go to the top of your head. The nerves for your eyes go to the back of your head passing right next to the neck muscles. When the muscles are tight they can press into the nerves to cause you pains on the back of your eyes. When the pressure is increased it causes your pupils to dilate to make you sensitive to light or to make things go blurry. To get rid of these problems you have to free up your neck muscles and here's how to do that: Neck Put your hands alongside your head so your thumbs are on the front of the muscle under your ear and your fingers are on the back of the muscle behind your neck. Squeeze your thumb and fingers together and hold. Relax your body. When your fingers and thumb touch, about two minutes, slowly lower your head as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your neck lowered for another 30 seconds. For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.

Lots of things can cause neck pain and you should see a doctor if it persists. Could be spinal meningitis. Could be you slept on your pillow wrong. Could be migraine headaches or a hard day at work. Nobody can answer this question because they don't know you. Go to the doctor.

it could be the pillar that you lay your head on at night or the way you sleep.

Are you having a stroke?
