What Causes Grinding Sound At The Base Of The Skull During Movement?
For the past week or so I have noticed that there is a grinding sound at the base of my skull when I turn my head left and right. There is no pain associated with the movement, but I have seemed to develop a fairly consistent, albeit weak headache. It may also be useful to point out that I had fairly severe Tonsillitis and Sinusitis recently that I am still getting over the effects of as well as post nasal drip. I am a 24 year old male.

Hello,
Sinusitis may be the cause of such sensations. So, it is expected that after successful treatment of sinusitis, these sensations and symptoms should subside.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
