A member asked:
Sometimes when i turn head to the side quick it feels like a crunch sound and then a really hot pain in neck that lasts a minute or 2 then goes away?

Pinched nerve: seems very likely. Try not to move your neck in ways that bring this on, and see your GP if it gets worse.

Crepitance: What you are describing is known as crepitance. In the neck, this is usually from some early arthritis in the facet joints. Don't hesitate to be seen.
