Sometimes feel something moving inside of back head / neck and hear like a gerggly sound at the same time what is this from? also daily headaches
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Crepitus: The "gerggly" sounds coming from the neck are likely crepitus--created when two rough surfaces in the body come into contact—for example, in osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis when the cartilage around joints has eroded away and the joint ends grind against one another. It can result from trauma or repetitive stress/sleeping position. With headaches, can be problematic. Seek referral w/ pcp.
