Q: Headaches And Cracking Neck
asked by: citationx2008 on December 6th, 2005

I am 16 years old and have been living miserably for two years now. Starting when I was about 11, I began cracking or popping my neck several times per day and continued this for a few years. When I was 14, I began to get stiffness and pain in my neck along with headaches that seemed to be at the base of my skull. Eventually I had pain and headaches for every waking hour and could not concentrate at school. My neck is very stiff in the morning but the pain continues throughout the day, near the base of the skull. I also have a constant feeling of carsickness and dizziness, and this happens a lot when doing schoolwork. I don't pop my neck anymore for about a year and have gone through physical therapy. This helped somewhat but I am still suffering every minute of the day and the headaches and stiffness persist. I think I have messed up something bad, but an mri and x-ray showed nothing. Please, if anybody knows anything about this, please reply, as I am a very sad person to be experiencing this so early on in life especially since I am healthy otherwise.

Hi, im 16 aswell and have all these symptoms that you are having. After blood tests, ekg, eye tests, and normal neurological examinations they have diagnosed it as anxiety and stress.

Hope this helps,
james

Thanks James
Thanks for the reply james. It's great to hear that i'm not the only one who has this problem. It really stinks not knowing if the doctors can fix this. Let me know if your condition changes or if you have any ideas or procedures for how to make this better.

Iam 19 and have also been suffering with headaches for as long as i remember. i have anxiety and am thinking i also have depression problems as well. Even though ive never gone to the doctor to check it out i don't think they can do anything from reading all of yalls post.I think we get all this from anxiety and problems we have of our own. I really dont know if anybody can help but if anyone has any suggestions. THX

crunching sound near ears
hi, friends.....
u people are not alone, i am too facing this sick problem since 5 years. every day is different experience for me. Some morning heavy poping sound and some morning less.
My MRI and CT scan reports are also normal. And doctors told me its due to stress and anxiety. But i know something is wrong. My life has come to still point with no emotions.
Even when i swallow i can hear crunching sound near my ears and neck back side. I feel extreme drowsiness and sometime feel that i will fall while walking. My hands shakes and cant hold even a cup of tea firm.
is there any permanent treatment for this.... please help me..
