Weird Reaction In My Neck.
yesterday i lost my temper with something & pulled a face and sort of growled at it, as i did so, i felt something small in the side of my neck sort of 'pop'.
Not an audible noise, but its hard to describe, i felt something like a force 'come to a head' ... then relax and a feeling of heat, 'flowed' almost like very warm liquid or air, for just an inch or so, for just a second ... then it all just dissipated, gone, no pain, no weird feeling, nothing, i felt fine, as I do now.
The ONLY thing that ive noticed feels different, is the weird, painful 'catch' or 'pull' i get in my neck sometimes.
I have hypermobility & have a bent neck, which aches like mad, twinges all down my arm at the slightest movement &, cant turn my head much & is a weird horrible tightness that i cannot relieve.
My neck clicks a lot, on its own or by me, because my head feels 'stuck' if i dont.
I try to be careful & limit it, but this catch makes me want to stretch and pull on the muscles etc.
So, what was this, & how/why did it relieve the catch that i have almost all the time, to varying degrees.
Has the thing that causes this catch been 'moved' or released or something, & now its solved?
Or is it just a temporary release?
Thanks :)
(NB: neck was scanned about 4-5 years ago & although it was tight, a weird bend etc & although it was not good & i was told never to allow anyone else to manipulate it, they were satified it didnt need any other treatment)

saintpeter - thanks but there is no pain whatsoever!
you obviously stopped reading early on.
but the fact there is no pain is the reason im posting - because the effect has been good & i am stunned & wondering what happened & why this totally alleviated it.
Im curious because obviously if the pain & tightness return I am going to want to try to recreate this - but obviously i dont really know how, why or what it was.
Im reluctant to just sit around getting angry at stuff & hoping it happens again, because I have also had other various twinges & cricks etc before that usually end up as painful & long lasting.
one made me scream out loud & grab my neck in agony, the neck pain calmed to just an ache but I was really ill for about 2 days with a sort of all over 'body shock' type of thing, whole body felt like it'd been bruised - it was extremely weird.
Rowanwitch - yes i wondered that too - the fact the pain & major uncomfort & ache etc was especially annoying because every time i looked to the left a huge twang went down my arm to my hand, so a nerve was caught & being damaged etc every movement.
Last year I had a proper pinched nerve in my neck that slowly spread all across my arm & shoulder & was like burning & scraping across my skin down my arm - it was the worst pain i have ever had - & it lasted about a week & i lost all strength in my arm, couldnt pick even a full cup up safely.
morphine couldnt touch it, only amitryptaline began to lift it.
So as you can imagine i dont want to trigger that again!
