No: If your back hurts, it is not normal. If you had a sports injury that caused the pain and the pop, you need to get your spine examined and xray'd if needed.

No : No, I would not say that is normal. Although it could splu represent a simple soft tissue injury that can quickly resolve, I would recommend being seen and having at a minimum an X-ray to rule out something more serious.

My ears seem clogged and the back of my neck and sholders always hurts. Sometimes when I turn my head makes a loud crack. When it first started I had bad headaches. Now it's just the ears and the neck. Already been to doctors, meds didn't work. ?
