I woke up this morning and popped my bones like I normally pop them and when I got to my neck I twisted something just wrong. Now my neck is sore and it feels like I slept on it funky all night long. 
I think I will try cutting out the offending appendage until it goes away. Oh wait, that would kill me. I think I will just hope that it goes away by this afternoon.
I’ve had constant and at times extremely intense neck pain for about 12 years now. No idea what caused it and the doctor has nothing useful to say about it.
NOOO!!! I want it to go away. Don’t scare me with horror stories.
I am a frequent, sometimes excruciating neck-pain sufferer.
I find that ice packs help, moreso than pain relievers.
Several months ago I was walking down the stairs at my now-fiance’s house and noticed my neck needed to pop. So I did. It popped like I’ve never heard before, and it got REALLY stiff on the left side. I made my way to the sofa to wait to see if I had somehow done any neurological damage to myself, but nope. For weeks I could barely turn my head to the right, and my neck popped and crunched unpleasantly whenever I moved my head.
Now it only bothers me when it’s going to be rainy, though I can’t turn my head quite as far to the right as I could before. And there is the occasional weird pop. But as long as it’s not hurting, I’m not going to argue!
