Hi everyone,
I was having lunch today with a good friend of mine and she was telling me how she's been having this really weird clicking sound in her neck that she notices when she turns her head from side to side.
I asked her more about it and she said as far as she can tell she is the only one who can hear it, it came on suddenly, and she does not have pain or numbness or anything.
She spends a lot of time on the computer and I'm voting for poor posture contributing to a neck issue of some type. She said that lately when she kind of rolls her head around she can make her neck kind of do a popping thing. She said she's also under a lot of stress lately so she's wondering if that's part of it.
Does anyone else here have a clicking neck when you turn your head? If so, did it go away on its own or did you need to see a doctor and or a chiropractor? I want to try to help my friend if we can. Thanks everyone! Michelle

Is your neck clicking 1 sided or your whole neck?

Same thing happening to me nowadays.
October 17, 2011 - 2:50pmIt has been started for almost 3 months from now and I didn't take it seriously, but it's getting worse -_-
I really need to go see a doctor or get X-ray.
I'm not even joking, it makes sound almost every 30 seconds...

How did you end up going with this?

This made me feel better. I have had clicking and popping sounds in my neck for the better part of the year. Most recently a burning sensation and headaches have started to come with it. My Doctor actually recommended me to physical therapy and they have told me it is due to poor posture from being on a computer a lot.
I've been in Physical Therapy for about a month and it seems like the clicking is less on some days, but it still scares me when the whole back of my neck and head start burning or hurting from the constant clicking and popping.
I'm actually young, 24. Mine started out by waking up one more with a really bad headache and my neck just started popping constantly afterwords.

i do have the same problem, i went to a doc and he said, nothing to worry until n unless its associated with pain, it may be due to arthritis. i have arthritis in all my joints.

After reading what other people said about stress/anxiety, I think I also fall into that category (super stressful job). I also sit at a desk all day and I'm sure I'm straining a lot. After my chiro visit this morning, the clicking is still there - it is just so annoying! Once I get the official results of my carotid ultrasound, I'll try to post a comment assuming everything's normal (or even if it's not!).
