Everyday, my neck hurts really bad. Sometimes it hurts worst one day, and feels better the next. I've got into this really bad habit of cracking my neck. My neck cracks so loud that my dad was a room away, and he could hear it. I've talked to my doctor but she told me to keep cracking it and stretching it. But I'm not sure if cracking helps or hurts me. Do you think I have arthritis? I'm only 13! Does anyone else have neck/shoulder problems? What can I do about this? (Indeed)

A lot of people crack their neck, and eventually, it just becomes a habit. You should be careful when you're cracking your neck, because you don't want to do yourself any serious damage (and possibly damage your spine). It couldn't hurt to go see a chiropractor, and ask them to make sure you aren't suffering from any serious problems associated with your spine or neck muscles. They might be able to help you so that you won't have neck pains everyday, and you won't have to resort to cracking your neck to feel better. Talk to your doctor again about the problem, and ask if they can possibly recommend a chiropractor for you to meet with. For now, be cautious when cracking your neck, and although it feels good in the end, don't force your neck to crack too often, and just be careful.
