Serious Neck joint problem?
-
I have been cracking my neck for about 3 years now, and a lot of things have started happening recently with my neck joints. 1) This is the worst- when I try to rotate my neck clockwise, some bone at the back of my neck sort of collides with another bone, and when I continue to rotate my neck, that bone sort of falls into a hole of some sort, which is quite painful, and when my neck reaches the normal position, the bone sort of comes out of that hole. When I rotate it again, the bone again, falls into some sort of place whilst colliding with other bones. When I rotate my neck anti-clockwise, the same thing happens, but that <<hole>> is much less steeper and less noticeable. 2) My neck cracks and clicks without me doing anything- on its own, when I moving my head. 3) When moving my neck, I feel different bones/joints rubbing against each other. I know that I shouldn't crack my neck, but if I don't a lot of pressure builds up in the joints and starts hurting. Anyone know what is happening to my neck? Thanks

Answer:
This is serious and getting worse. The obvious answer is go to a doctor and get a referral to a bone specialist. Do NOT go to a chiropractor .......do NOT let a chiro manipulate you at this point - there is way too much going on wrong in your spine already. Get some serious advice - you are risking pinching a nerve.

The neck bones can sometimes hook together if out of position, and can cause symptoms you relate. Also could have a disc problem along with it. See a sports doctor/physiologist, he or she can best diagnose your problem. If you are noticing any tingling or reduction in sensation or even muscle weakness in one of your arms, could also be a ruptured or bulging disc which could require surgery.
