A member asked:
My neck cracks when i cough hard. i currently have bronchitis so i'm coughing a lot. it cracks 5/6 discs just above my shoulders. potentially serious?

Take care of the: cough! Cracking doesn't mean anything more than articulation of the joint. The joint is moving! If it stops moving and you strain or injure it, then you'll have to have it treated! So take care of the bronchitis by visiting your PCP and getting an inhaler on board or more depending on what s/he finds out during the exam!
