Clunk!
(I'm 83) and recently, when I move my head my neck either grinds or there is a clunk. Are other people getting this and what are you doing about it. Thanks

I get the grinding when moving my neck side to side and if I lean it to the right it is like crunching a bag of crisps! I have had a few x-rays and MRIs over the years, a Neurosurgeon refused to operate 11 years ago as he said there was too great a risk of paralysis so I wear a cervical collar when my neck is not supported by leaning back in my recliner.

Thanks Mike. Do they attribute it to arthritis, or what?

Good morning @worzel123
Merry Christmas of course🎅
I thought you might find this helpful? The sound you refer to 'crepitus' is mentioned under the section called 'symptoms' but do have a read of the whole document if you can:
Best wishes

Yes, OA plus I also have Degenerative Facet Joint Disease in the whole of my spine and a detached disc in my neck.
