Arthritis In Neck, Clicking Sensation. What Is It?
hi..i was diagnose with a very slightly arthritis on y neck and recently everytime I turn to the right or to the left,i was hearing this little clicking n my neck..and I am so concerned about it..what should I do?? whos doctor should I go to???should I go to chiropractor,neurologist or orthopedics..im not really sure and I want this clicking to stop
Hi, it appears to be due to the infection of the intervertibral joints, or spondylosis. I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. i advise you to avoid potato, other tubers, tomato, and sea foods, to avoid the clicking sounds, besides medication. Thank you.
Hi. Clicking in the neck may be due to many reasons including degeneration/ spondylosis, short neck, arthritis of the cervical spine jonts due to diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and may sometimes in perfectly normal due to snapping of the ligaments/ bony parts. If not associated with any neurologic symptoms in the form of tingling or pain radiating down the neck or arms, or any motor or other sensory or bladder disturbances, then there should not be any reason to worry. An evaluation by an Spine surgeon/ Rheumatologist/ Orthopedecian should be sufficient to rule out any significant cause. An Xray would compliment the clinical examination. Hope I have answered your query. Thank you.
