Headaches And Cracking Neck Posted: 12-06-05 16:27pm
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 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.

When I am lying in bed I get a starange
sensation in my neck, its like a crackling
noise. When I wake up I usually have
pressure in my head for a few hours, ts
quite annoying, anyone know what causes
this.
