A member asked:
When i have stiff neck&move my neck left, right, forward, backward, it sometimes makes a sound. what is this sound?is it bad? should i try to avoid it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sound may be ok: Sound may be vacuums forming and collapsing, but rarely could be from bone rubbing -very rare. If the former, not a problem.
