22 year old female suffering from neck clicking and grinding when i turn head side to side followed by stiffness. osteoporosis is in my family?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not osteoporosis: Not symptoms of osteoporosis see doctor rule out unlikely djd at your age , try massage relaxation and cervical traction if clicking is painless ignore it, you have 14 knuckle size joints facet joints in your neck they can pop and click from time to time normally i always attributed this to anxiety and muscle tension painless clicking and grinding should be ignored my opinion good luck
