Get examined : and don't self treat or" crack" your neck. You will need cervical spinal x-rays and possibly an MRI of the cervical spine. Some easy simple exercises. Slowly do range of motion with neck:small circular rotations- right, left, backward, forward, clockwise and counter clockwise. Do shoulder shrugs up to your ears forward and backward. massage therapy with Bio-Flex liniment.
