Avatar n tn my neck starting popping one day and for 5 months has continued to pop about 300+ times a day, followed by different degrees of pain has anyone ever had or heard of this much popping and the reason? mri, emg and xray looked good - but they didn't do the C1 and C2 area.
Avatar m tn I also have severe pain in my neck when I turn it to the side or up and down.I was assured that by now I would be pretty much pain free but here I am asking why I'm not!! I had an appointment in May and June,and in the doctors notes he stated if I didn't improve then he wanted to do an MRI and CT scan with contrast and a nerve velocity test.I would really appreciate another opinion of what is going on with me.I was injured on the job and haven't received the best medical treatment.
Avatar n tn I have an almost constant popping in my neck everytime I turn my head. Sometimes there is a "catching" as if the neck is somehow slightly out of joint. I also have a constant dull ache in the soft spots at the base of my skull. This has been going on for many months and is never bad pain, just annoying. Any advice is appreciated, but do you think I need a chiropractor or doctor?
Avatar n tn Hi, yes it can be, as it can shift things to cause more of an obstruction of CSF, this is one reason we r told not to go to a Chiropractor.
Avatar f tn Ok so I think I located the exact spot. I can pop this "thing" at will now. In the center of my neck right to the RIGHT of my spine. Even a rub of the fingers toward the spine produces this feeling of movement. It has been there some time and never got bigger. It doesn't hurt.. but Im scared as to what it is. I had a CT scan on sinuses and brain two months ago. Would the neck show up on that?
Avatar n tn So i just got diagnosed with influenza a and when i got home i went into my room made some tea and i noticed everytime i swallow my neck sorta pops, No sound is made but there is a weird popping sensation and mild pain. The only time is has stopped is when i press on my neck where the popping occurs.
Avatar n tn Hello, I am an 18 year old male and for the past month I have developed a chronic popping in my neck, around the same area each time with little difference. Not popping it makes an odd and tense sensation form around the area, leading me to pop it even more. The neck popping has gotten extreme, with sometimes a dozen or more in a minute at times. Well, as of a week or more ago, I have started to get a constant and reoccurring headache in my front left of my head.
Avatar f tn Chronic neck pain is difficult to treat. You describe everything you sould have with neck pain, cracking, popping, difficulty sleeping. You really need to back to the doctor and start over if he dosen't respond to this then maybe find another docotor.
Avatar n tn Consult an otolaryngologist for evaluation. Does she complain of any neck stiffness or pain? A CT scan neck would be required to check any vertebral trauma. Wishing her all the best.
Avatar f tn I have cracking & popping noise when I turn my neck. Dull & burning pain across my upper back & shoulders. I've had this for 38 yrs. & tried everything except surgery. It's hard to focus & it controls my quality of life. Just finished spinal decompression & relief doesn't stay. Has anyone got any suggestions? What's wrong with me?
Avatar n tn My neck started popping hundreds of times a day followed by pain and burning sensation at base of my skull five months ago. Now along with the neck pains, I am getting severe body jolts during day and night which feel like someone is shooting me with electricity. MRI, blood test, EMG, Xray and neurologist have shown nothing wrong. They are trying steroids now but on day 3 is hasn't helped. They all say no one has these symtoms. HAS ANYONE HAD THESE SYMPTOMS?
Avatar m tn I woke up and as usual i cracked my nect but when i did for the left side of my neck, the usual neck popping sound was followed by an usual heavy grain mashing sound or something like that.Then my neck hurt alot and i couldnt tilt my neck to the left( can still turn just that i cant TILT to the left.). I went to the doctor and he said it was a mild stiff neck, so i got the usual muscle relaxants and neck pain medicine.
Avatar m tn s order) and so I am wondering if this has cause a strain in my back/neck and is causing all this pain, or if it could be something more serious. Your answers and advice are greatly appreciated.
Avatar m tn When ever I got ticks the most common thing to do would be to pop my neck, so I guess that is what started this. But anyway... My back and neck pretty much hurt everyday, Like an aching pain. On my neck the pain is on the back and side of the neck. So whenever my neck is hurting I will pop it and doing so pretty much releases all my pain and makes it feel alot better. Same with my back, my pains are in my lower back going up to the middle.
Avatar m tn There are neck muscles and some nerves travel through the neck muscle mass. If there are come jerks to the neck, the nerves may get injured, and it may take a long time to heal, as the neck is mobile all the time. Have you had any injury to the head or the neck ?
Avatar f tn Hi, Background: I am a 17 year old female and I've been diagnosed with CFS/ME/POTS since around this time last year (March, 2013) and I had symptoms since February 2013. I've also been on a coeliac diet since I was 8 and I currently take the pill, beta-blockers and ritalin to help manage symptoms of my illnesses.
Avatar n tn Thoughts on the below symptoms I have been experiencing?
Avatar n tn Almost every time I yawn I fell something like a muscle or bone poking on my neck just below my jaw. It pokes and then i have to manually push it back until i yawn again.
Avatar n tn I had the same surgery two and a half years ago (C5-C7). They went through the front of my neck. I've been in constant pain since I had the surgery. My neck also makes popping and cracking sounds. I have terrible headaches every day. I have constant pain in my neck, shoulders, arms, and hands. I have weakness in both hands. I have never been able to return to work. I've applied for Social Security Disability, but haven't heard anything yet.
Avatar n tn I have a popping that occurs in my neck. This happens to some extent almost anytime I turn my head. My neck feels stiff all the time, and I have a dull ache on either side of the bottom of my skull in the soft areas. The popping sometimes actually feels like a "catch" for lack of a better word and I have to "pop" it back. Not severe, but enough to be annoying. Please, any help you could give, do I need a docotr or a chiropractor?
