Hello Dr.Im am a 14 year old boy and recently start to pop my neck a lot both ways.After the third day my neck is feeling pain in the lower part of my skull.From my lowery part skull to my left shoulder.I woke up sore yesterday from there and now it hurts.I am getting afraid.should I be scared?
Hello Dear, You should stop all this popping as it is very dangerous and can cause serious problem like neck muscle spasm and some time damage to nerves. For time being you should apply soft cervical collar and hot water fomentation. You should also apply voting gel and avoid using very high pillow. It will take CAE of this pain.  I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
