I agree with Gixxer - Anything behind the neck for me causes undo stress on my shoulders.
Many studies concurr - My ironic story is that for Presses behind neck are the only heavy press I can do pain free, otherwise I go light. You could have some inherent weakness in the rotator cuff and doing 2-3 sets of 2-5lb pendulum db exercises could loosen and streghthen them enough to add behind neck for a variation or high rep finishing move. I always prefer varied grips, spacing , rep schemes- change every aspect of training often
