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.

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.
