Guest guest Posted October 27, 2001 Report Share Posted October 27, 2001 < Do any of you get squishy noises and clunk sounds when you turn or nod your head? I think whatever is causing my headaches to be so bad, is tied into this. I'd like to know if anyone else has found an even semi successful treatment. >> Lyndi, I do but I have not got the foggiest idea what causes them. I do have arthritis very badly in my neck and I have very limited motion there also. Take care, Irene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2001 Report Share Posted October 28, 2001 I have what I call 'crunchy' noises in my neck...and yes, I have horrible headaches most of the time. That is why the doctor originally did a preliminary diagnosis of fibromyalgia. I have found that I MUST get to bed AND sleep by 9:30 each night (getting actual sleep is the trick). That makes my headache better. I have noticed though that any 'over exertion' one day makes the headache worse the net. I am also having therapeutic massages weekly. I can't tell you whether or not this helps because I've just started. I use hot packs/cold packs alternating every 15 minutes on my neck & shoulder areas. This does seem to help some.

The squishy noises and clunks are there all the time, so I'm glad that I don't have a migraine constantly. My head aches all the time, but the throwing up, knock down, drag out headaches " only " happen a couple of days a week. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired!!

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2001 Report Share Posted October 28, 2001 I don't sleep well. (even if I take drugs) And when I do get to sleep, I wake up several times during the night to switch pillows. I've got a stack of various sizes, shapes, and materials piled beside the bed. I hope the new rheumy I'm seeing this week lives up to his 'brilliant' reputation.

I find that my neck, even my entire spine, becomes maladjusted a lot of times when I've been tense (tight muscles pulling). Tension also brings on migraines for me. Now that my thyroid is pharmaceutically straightened out and it's no longer causing the migraines, tension is one of the remaining clear triggers. I grew up in a chiropractic family - Gramma graduated from Palmer Chiropractic in 1928 and practiced for many years alongside her husband - and I realize that others' opinions may vary. ;-) Kay ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2001 Report Share Posted October 28, 2001 I have grinding noises in my neck and also get horrible right side headaches. Have been to chiro but he can't pop it. I can pop it myself sometimes and that seems to help a little. If I hurt real bad I use ice and heat. Klonopin helped a few months ago and was headache free for a little while but it isn't helping this go round. I'm thinking of asking doc for muscle relaxer as my neck feels so tight sometimes. > Do any of you get squishy noises and clunk sounds when you turn or nod > your head?

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2001 Report Share Posted October 28, 2001 I as surprised when I moved to the US last year and learned that chiropractors don't get much recognition in the medical community. I loved my chiropractor. My family doctor sent me to him. My spine is/was quite damaged and the chiro kept me going for about 10 years. Because my fibro always had me in knots, he used massage first before he even attempted any kind of adjustments. But the day came when both my doc and my chiropractor told me that it was time for surgery, not chiropractic treatments. After the surgery, my chiropractor and his partner both looked at all the x-rays the orthopaedic surgeon had taken and told me that I was no longer a candidate for any kind of spinal adjustments. That they would do be more harm than good. It was great while it lasted :-) Lyndi Kay Martz wrote: > I get those, and it's usually a signal that I need to get back to my > chiropractor for an adjustment, get those vertebrae back in line where > they belong.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2001 Report Share Posted October 28, 2001 I posted earlier and said I got the same feeling and sounds from my neck and head and what I forgot to say is that I had cortisone injections in my neck and back of the head, which by the way I wasn't to thrilled to be getting but anyway it seems to me that it helped my neck I would say 90% not only with the crunching and squishy sounds but with the horrible pain I was having. I couldn't bear the pain anymore but I feel like a new person as far as my neck goes! It also seems to me that when reading all the posts that almost everyone who responded to your question Lyndi said that they get migraines so there must be a connection I would think!

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2001 Report Share Posted October 28, 2001 I don't know if I would count, I've had a cervical spinal fusion. I hear crunching and popping sounds all the time. Heard them before the surgery too. My disc's degenerated enough to come out into my spinal column and was crushing my spinal cord! I think just about everyone hear's " noises " in their neck.
