I am having severe neck pain and am wondering could it be referred pain?

I am 2 weeks post op Lap. and have had no problems whatsoever until 2 days ago when I woke up with what seemed to be a "crick" in my neck. It was almost unbearable the next day and bad now also. My surgeon allowed me to take Vioxx which has not done anything for the discomfort. I have also taken muscle relaxers which gave me very little relief. Could it possibly be trapped CO2 this long after sugery? It is 2:36 am and I WANT TO SCREAM!!!!!
