Teenager. Severe Neck Pain, Feeling On Curved Neck Bone In The Middle. X-ray Report Normal. Concerning?

Hello, my name is ______. I am 19 years old, almost 20. In shape and healthy. A normal college student. However, for the last 2 years I have had neck pain.I am always twisting and turning it to get it to "pop" for some relief. I went to a doctor and said there was nothing wrong with my neck after he x-rayed it. I think the middle part of my neck bone is also curved inward when I massage it. Any advice?
