Thank you for responding. I had not thought that I could be overextending myself. I'll have to watch that and see if I notice a difference. But my doctor's know about my neck cracking and don't attribute my headaches to them, but it just seems strange to me that they start right after I crack my neck.

So far, my doctor's believe I'm just one of those unlucky souls who suffer from migraine's. I guess that cracking my neck could be aggrevating the same nerve's that my migraine's affect.

Well that gives me something to think about.

Thanks for the input,
Bobbi

I've been cracking my neck for at least 10 years and the last few years I've developed migraines. MRI shows no tumors or anything. When I came across this site I realized I could finally ask some other people who crack their necks if they get headaches. So, does anyone out there who crack their necks get headaches/migraines??

The migraines are bad and occur 2-5 times a week and my fear is that I have done this to myself with my neck cracking. I've tried to stop due to that fear but I can't, anyone out there knows what it's like if you let it go for too long. That pressure builds up and it's actually painful to not crack your neck (or whatever your cracking) but then I crack my neck and I feel relief and then the headaches will start.

I have to suggest to people who have not been cracking their necks too long, quit while you can. My case may be singular in origin but maybe not. Maybe I hurt myself and that's what's causing the pain, but if I can so can anyone else. It's one thing to crack your nuckles, wrists, toes, but I wish I had never started cracking my neck.

I look forward to anyone's helpful information.
Thanks,
Bobbi
