Pain in the neck 3l2e1p

I went to work one day with a sore neck. When my colleague asked me how I was I said Ça va, mais j'ai un mal au cul. She looked at me strangely and said Mal au cul and tapped her behind or Mal au cou and touched her neck. I quickly understood my mistake, pointed to my neck and said Non, non, mal au cou.
