Good news maybe?

I have tried numerous things throughout my years of pain with nothing working.  However I have come across something new which might work....maybe.

I think I might have OMS/Over Manipulation Syndrome.  Self diagnosed.  Theoretically, I had my injury and found that cracking my neck would relieve the pain.  Crack=Reward and grew addicted to this whenever my neck would get tight.  Well maybe the injury healed (as it doesn't show up in any scans) but I just have a bad habit.  Nowadays cracking relieves pain but only for a few minutes and throughout the day it gets worse and I am also usually fatigued by that point and go to bed only to resume the process the next day. 

So I am on Day 3 of not cracking my neck....a lot of pain that I know I can relieve..... but can't since I am giving this a shot.  I have read 4 weeks and I should see a huge improvement.  We will see.

Please keep us updated on your progress, may very well help others.

Good luck

I'm eager to hear how much this helps you, hoping for the very best. My husband does this, makes me cringe and I'm the one who had neck surgery.

It was going well....today I kind of fell into an old routine although kind of new. I was stretching my neck and it popped where it hasn't in months....maybe even years...so I kind of became obsessed today again but tomorrow I will be back to no cracking if I can help it. Thanks for asking for an update, it kind of re-motivated me. It was going well and I am excited to try it again.
