EXTREME NECK POPPING FOLLOWED BY NECK/SHOULDER PAIN:
Woke up one morning in Oct and neck started making popping sounds (hundreds of times a day). I never crack my neck so it was unusual. Within a week, sharp pains started in my neck & shoulder (always on the right hand side). For the last 3 months, I have had these pops (300 times a day) and sharp quick pains (50-100 times/day). Chiropractic services was no help in Oct/Nov. Physical therapy excerises during all Dec did not help. MRI test in Dec shows nothing. Xray in Nov showed nothing. Neourogist recommends a EMG - which means another month of waiting and pain. I cannot remember doing anything that would have originally caused it, nor can I can what is going to "set it off" for a painful hour here and there. It feels like there is a spot of pain at the base of my skull just to the right of my top cervical vertibrea and also a spot under my collarbone on front right side and then my sharp pains that come and go.
Has anyone ever heard of these symptoms and have any ideas???
