What Causes Cracking Sound In Neck Leading To Neck And Shoulder Pain?
I have a lot of neck- shoulder pain for almost a month now. One night I herd a crack sound on my neck during sleep and I couldn t move my head , my neck was hurting really bad and the pain goes down to the right shoulder. From that night I cannot sleep well and often I had bad pain in shoulder neck and I even cannot turn my head to the right!! What s your suggestion? Are those symptom s of AS ?
Possibly there been some intervertebral disc prolapse which got aggravated by bad neck posture and may be compressing any exiting nerve root. I advise you to use a soft cervical collar to restrict the neck movements and get MRI cervical spine done. In AS (Ankylosing spondylitis) there can be involvement of cervical spine, but its a gradually progressive disease, for which you not told any previous neck/back symptoms like morning stiffness etc. So AS is less likely possibility.
