Just wondering if anyone else has this? I do have a herniated cervical disk - since that was found, I have a crunching in my neck quite often when I move it side to side.

May, rest assured you are not alone.i have crunching when i turn from side to side and like a crackling noise.i have bulging disc in c6 c7 pushing on my spinal cord.took drs over 10 years to find.you would not beleave some of the crazy dx they gave me,always telling me to go to the gym.now i will never go to the gym.LOL. marywoo

Can't contribute it to anything but I've had that for years. Makes me crazy when the fibro in my neck has me trying to relieve it by rubbing and moving it only to hear the cracking. It unnerves me but what can I do.

Hi May, yes, my sister and i both have the crunching neck noise. We both have had it for a long time. I don't know if it's related to fm or not. Sis gets bad neck pain that radiates into her head. She is 15 yrs younger than me and has not been dx with anything but i think she either has fm or cfs.

I get a sore neck once in awhile but not really that bad and i've had the noisy neck for many years.

I have the crunching all the time. When I have a flare my neck is the first place that I have the severe pain

Hello May,

I have a problem with my neck it's c4,c5,c6. My neck is always in pain. Everytime I move my neck it cracks and it feels like sand when I move my neck. My physio works alot on my necké. My MRI showed a problem with the c4,c5,c6. I don't need to be operated on but, I will always have this problem with my neck. There are times where I cannot use the computer. I can work better with my laptop but, I have to put heat on my neck. The fibro doesn't help me with my neck either. I was told not to worry about it and to avoid stress. (easier said than done!) When my neck is really bad it seems to bring up my back problems and I have a hard time to walk. I use my tens machine and heating pads everyday and in different areas.


I don't know if this is the samething you were talking about.


take care,

Crunching and popping, it's kind of musical sometimes.....giggle! It is a very weird feeling when it crunches or when there is a succession of pops one right after the other as I turn my head. No pain though from the crunching and popping, just the sore muscles,
