A member asked:
I was stretching with my arms above my head and i heard a pop, and there was instant pain on the left side of my neck. is it a pulled muscle or something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: If it is a simple muscle pull or strain it will get better in a few weeks. Sometimes the facet joints make noise (pop) but that is usually harmless.
