I have this all the time. Mine is painful when I have weakness. My NS said it was probably a tendon snapping past and try not to "make it happen"...
My PT noticed that it happens less when I build up my muscles and don't have as much weakness. As long as I keep up my strength with PT, mine is not painful.
Wow good thing I just read your post. I thought I was crazy, again. This loud crack sound happened twice. This is not your ordinary pop sound. It is more of a loud, sharp CRACK. Very disturbing and you wait for some horrible pain or maybe, pass out, but there was no pain right away and then the soreness sets in. Just when you think symptoms my be over, surprise Chiari symptoms come back new and even more strange. When I see my doctor I always start my sentence with "Please don't think I'm crazy but....... And this is 2 years after decompression surgery
Yes, I had the popping sounds. I am 2 years 8 months post surgery. Sometimes you can hear/feel them right where surgery was. Very strange.
No. Havent had that to ever happen before. Sorry, no help. Hope u find ur answers...soon.
I also have popping sounds in my head since surgery. However, mine are not painful and both my NS and Physical therapist say that they are totally harmless if they are not painful.
When you say they hurt, where exactly in your head are you feeling the pain?
Hi and welcome to the Chiari/Syringomyelia forum.
I saw u had surgery, but not sure how long ago it was...do u know if ur syrinx has shrunk since surgery?
What u could be hearing and feeling could be scar tissue or u may have a joint that pops out of the socket.
When was ur last MRI?
"selma"
I didnt got a surgery, but once in a while went I turn my head there is a popping sound in my neck/head erea and its very painfull and desorienting.
