I recentley had the same thing happen to me and it came out of no where! I looked up some things and figured out it was from muscle spasams in my neck. I never felt any pain from the spasms and the neck did not hurt. I read that the muscles were pulling on my spine and straightning it and the muscle on the spine when I turned my head were causing the click sound. 1 month later the sound is lighter and less frequant. I noticed the knot in my neck moved up and so did the clicking sound. I had some xrays done and just like I suspected it is from a muscle spasm and the bones in my neck were going straight up instead of being curved. I asked my doctor what is the cause of this and she said most likely bad posture. After reading some more on line while I'm waiting to meet with the physical theapist.. b/c I refuse to take muscle relaxers... i need to know the culprit and fix it. I read that if you lean forward with your head alot you tirer out your spinal muscles and doing this has caused degenerative disc in my c5-c6 cervical (neck) bones. Now I am going to start taking the recommended dosages of chondroitin, glucosamine, msm, and hydrogen acid and try to reverse this disc from flattning... I'll report back and let everyone know the results after 6 months I will get xrays taken again. Hope this helps someone that is searching for something similar to what I experienced. Now I have to be very concious of my posture bc I don't want to make my situation worsen. Posture Posture Posture!!!
