Hi all, I have a problem with my neck, I've had it years but it seems to be getting gradually worse. My neck feels 'tight' and cracks and clicks especially when I move my head toward it's limits. Every few days when I move my head I get a loud 'snap' feeling and a noise other people in a quiet room can hear...
What the heck is wrong with my neck ???
Wear and tear degeneration........probably associated with your job or maybe your age.......if it cracks......then so be it, no harm will come to you.
However if you get pain, then ibuprofen 400mgms as and when necessary will relieve the pain.
My neck aches most of the time..pain radiates to the top of the back of my arms.I take Difene when it really bothers me.
As Sqad says..it's general wear and tear...and in my case..an old 'whiplash' injury.
Thanks for very accurate answers! top work. Just to add I'm only 40 but I did have a car accident when I was mid-twenties. The doctor said recently that any injury sustained back then was 'soft tissue injury' and would not be the cause of trouble now but I beg to differ ....
