Answer 1

Sounds like a spinal issue.

Pinched nerves or something like that.

An xray of your spine is probably warranted and then some manipulation - chiropratic help if there is no significant damage.

Answer 2

A pinched nerve in your spine or neck can cause all of these problems.  Nerves are never fun when they are pinched.  Talk to your doctor about possibly some light physical therapy and get yourself a good heating pad.  In most cases pinched nerves will clear up with a little bit of effort and you will return to normal, but as always, talk to your doctor to rule out anything more serious even though I'm sure you're fine :)
