A member asked:

My 2 yo daughters neck makes a cracking noise every once in a while and it hurts her when it happens why does this happen and should i be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cracking and pain...: The 'cracking' doesn't bother me. Many joints on kids make that noise as the tendons/ligaments in the area are much more elastic than adults and that noise is actually like the snapping of a rubber band. However, the fact you say she has pain is a bit more worrisome, and should be brought up with her pediatrician so a good exam can be done.
