I heard felt about 4 pops similar to being adjusted by a chiropractor.
There was no instant pain at all. However a 4 of 10 pain level developed over 48 hours. I went to the er and recieved a ct scan. They discharged me with a sprained neck.

Hi...
Welcome to "Ask a Doctor" service.
I am Dr Ajeet XXXXXXX
I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.
These are the common symptoms of neck sprain and head concussion.
You can feel dizziness,nausea,neck pain(that worsens with movement),neck spasm,headache,vertigo or ringing in ears-any of these symptoms.
As your brain scan is normal,an internal brain injury has been ruled out.
These symptoms will slowly wean off.
You can hasten the recovery by application of ice and heat alternatively,doing gentle movements only,avoiding excess jerking and taking over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen,paracetamol or acetaminophen.
Hope that I have answered your query.
Stay healthy and stay blessed.
Regards.

what about the feeling of arm cramping and a cold feeling in my left arm?
Brief Answer:
Sprained neck.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome back.
Arm cramping,numbness,pain and coldness is due to irritation of nerve roots that branch away from the cervical spinal cord.
This may travels down the arm into the hand.
It would soon go away.Take commercially available preparations of vitamin B12 for enhanced nerve repair (myein sheath, coating the nerves).
