A member asked:
When i move my neck in circles it pops and cracks. i have a constant ache too. what is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflammation: Sometimes you can hear the popping and cracking because of inflammation in the ligaments and tendons. I would recommend seeing a chiropractor for treatment. If you have pain, numbness, weakness or tingling radiating into your arms you should also see your Family Doctor.
