I had a car accident 10 days ago. My neck sounds like rice crispies whenever I rotate or turn my neck, and is painful to do so. I  have had two brief instances of numbness in my left hand after rotation of neck. I have a doctor follow-up next Monday, and possibly an MRI. What would a likely diagnosis be? And thanks for any information.
HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorThe sound you experiencing may not be due to accident, but it could be there before the accident that might not be noticed or heard by you, such sound comes from the cartilage bony structure while it get rubs with each other or accumulation of some gas inside the tissue when escape could produce such sound, whatever it may be that is nothing to worry, have nice day.
