neck cracking
I’ve had a severe neck cracking problem now for 7months.
My neck cracks several times per day and it is very loud and sounds like my neck is breaking. Not too painful however is very uncomfortable and aches frequently. My lower back also cracks but is not as frequent as my neck. I feel there is something out of alignment as I do feel slightly more comfortable once I feel it has cracked back into place. However, on a 3/4 occasions that I’ve cracked my neck, I have experienced some kind of spasm shooting up the back of my neck up to my head which leaves me still and motionless for around 2minutes. When I move my shoulder blades in a circular movement I experience loads of clicking and grating in my back.My muscles in the tops of my arms seem to be constantly clicking too. (I am only 28yrs)

I’m experiencing the same problems you are, but maybe not as severe. The noise my neck makes when I crack it is awful. And my back is not much better. I wish I had an answer for you as I’ve been searching for one for awhile now. All of this cracking can’t be good for your body. Hope you (and I) get an answer real soon! Good luck.

We are experiencing the exact same thing!!!!!It’s unbearable at times.My Dr. told me that my muscle is inflammed. HAI don’t believe it.Next week I am starting physical therepy becauseI now feel like I have arthritis in my neck and shoulder blade area. I ache all the time and nothing seems to help!

: hey guess what me and my kids too!!! it seems like over nite we all started cracking and popping. I first noticed it in myself and then my 4 year old and then my 8 year old, although theirs is not a severe as mine. mine is so loud with just regular movements that people 2-3 feet away can hear it. from my neck to my toes, everything pops. The drs. are begininning to look at commonalities as my husband isnt effected… just the three of us. this all started in august. did any of you go camping in az or utah?(went horsebackriding, atv rididng and swimming) also went swimming in a lake(resevoir) in nv. too, and the three of us had a cough right before all this happened. it all came on suddendly. any thoughts? kids doesnt seem to hurt, just annoying. mine is beginning to catch at hurt/ache especially lower back. sorry for all the typos,

I was thinking I was going crazy until I read the other posts. I have the exact same thing. It all started this summer. My neck cracks 24 / 7 whenever I turn it from left to right and right to left. I’m wondering if it is part of the West Nile virus? It does not hurt, it is just annoying.

I was very surprised to read the postings here… I have had the exact same thing, and it started in the summer of 2012. It’s driving me nuts. I was wondering, has anyone experienced blurred vision, or “cottony” type spots in their vision? I’m trying to figure out what’s going with me… Thanks.SMB in Toronto

Strange thing, but I have had the same situation now for 1 year. Neck Cracks and shoulder spasms, at times I vision is affected and feeling of imbalance sets in for few minutes. It seems to be getting worse and worse. Kind of getting worried about it every new year…

i have this too. my neck clicks, my shoulder pops, my wrists and elbows snape, and my hip clicks. I am told I have fibromyalgia because of all the muscle soreness and fatigue associated with it. it FREAKS me out and I am afraid to run. I also have a cervical bulge that might be causing it, and early degenerative disc disease. so many differing opinions makes it hard to know what to believe of what steps to take. good luck everyone, check in to say what has helped you

36 years old, yeah, me too guys. started after a rear-end shunt in the car but I dunno if that was the cause, as it came on with a host of other symptoms – blurry vision, dizziness, strange ‘not quite there’ feeling.. I’m at a loss too.

I have been cracking my neck for about 6 to 7 years and about 6 months ago when I would crack my neck I would get a instant head ahce and I get dizzy. I also get bad pain (burning pain) in my neck. I have no idea if that is the reason or what but I feel like it is getting worse.

My neck is always popping, as is my jaw, knees, wrists, ect. I’ve noticed other people I know, same thing. I really think these are symptoms of something else. Fatigue, muscle ache, hard to concentrate….Anyone ever hear of micro-plasma??? Any have problems with inflamation, also? my elbows hurt alot.
