Q: 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?

hey it could be problems with your sleeping position or posture. make sure you have a good pillow that is not to high up that you are forcing your chin to your neck and not the other way around too.
also, when your sitting around, do you sit with your neck titled to the side or forward or anything. try to always keep your head up straight.
if those don't solve it, maybe your doctor can prescribe some kind of pain medicine.
hope this helps- :)
