It is possible for low neck pain to cause
some pain in the chest. By "crunchy", you
may mean crepitance, which is a crackling
or grinding sound on movement of the neck
or low back. This can indicate arthritis
in some patients, but at 16 it would be
unlikely unless you had juvenile
rheumatoid arthritis (uncommon condition).
Check with your family doc about some of
the possibilities. Upper neck issues can
lead to jaw pain...
Consider going into medicine as a career.
Sometimes those with certain medical
conditions make the best doctors
