as well as needing to crack it eg. first thing in the morning, it often feels stiff. and as it says at the top of this forum, doctors dont seem to understand! my doctor just tells me a stiff neck is fine, but it blatantly isn't!
lol!

as well as this normal cracking, i have another problem which i hope someone here can help me with.
It involves turning your head to the left and right. Since i got thumped in the back, i have noticed the following symptoms, although i may have had them in some form before:
i cant turn my head to the left very far without it starting to hurt. i can turn my head to the right a reasonable amount but it "clicks" not really a crack. this is only when i turn my head to the right, and is very annoying. any ideas why this happens?

thanks guys in advance, i hope to find some replies when i check here next Cool

turning your head to the left/ right is called lateral rotation.
it is good to do this every day
several times a day
SLOW
breathe into the stretches and hold them for a while
your mobility on the R will improve as your L neck muscles get more flexi
As you get older neck pain becomes more common
especially from sleeping
thats why you want to keep your neck flexible and mobile
To avoid stiffness
Yes I get cracks and pops nearly every time I laterally rotate my neck also
Perfectly normal.

These small cracks - do you mean when you turn your neck and move back - as soon as you start to move back it cracks?

Or when you reach a kind of limit where like a stiff rough pain/ache prevents you from willingly moving further + you can't really?

Ok, well i am no body expert or doctor - i'm just a student studying things that are not related to this except biology.

But i guess that maybe it is caused by the effort to get those small cracks or when you stretch your neck so far to get a crack that isn't there because your neck aches that when you move it back you have moved it so far, it kind of lodges against something or other etc.

With the rough ache, hmmmm, well a friend of mine used to crack his neck to the extent where he has restricted movement. So maybe this is the feeling he described?
