Jointcaracking addiction and chronic neck pain
-
Hi,
I am 24 year old male, doing lot of sport (running,swiming,GYM) and never had any neck injuries.Recently (at the past 6 months) I startred cracking my upper neck. Today I feel that I've became really addicted to it and stoping with this rotine is very hard for me.
The reason I decided to stop with it is beacuse I'm feeleing some chronic pain in the upper neck, this pain stops when i'm cracking but appears 20-30 minutes later on. This is really annoying and I believe it indicate some serious problem that I've caused with this addiction.
It should be noted to that I work out in gym (maybe it can be related).Do you have any ideas or suggestions about I can I treat it?
Thanks a lot.

Hi, welcome to the forum!
How long have you been able to crack your neck for?
Does it crack involuntarily ever or just when you mean to crack it? In my experience I have suffered a neck injury when I got punched in the neck for no reason at school and I get involuntary cracks and strange noises in my neck all the time.
Could it be you have worked out too hard? I don't know it's just an idea?

Hi,
I've been able to crack my neck for the last 6 months (maybe even more, quite hard to remember when I started it).
I haven't mentioned it but the cracks aren't involuntarily, I've just became so addicted to it that it is really hard to stop with it.
And maybe it is a product of working too hard, meanwhile I stoped working in gym, just in order to isulate potential causes, but I don't think that this is the cause. -

How about if you try to go a day without cracking? Do you just get a strong urge to do it that you can't stop yourself from doing it?
