What could this mean?

I had a bad pop in my neck for three months.

For the past three days, it hasn't been off its hinge. It's still a problem, but I'm being careful not too pop on purpose.

I've had dizzy spells sort of come back though, but the neck is still sore as always but popping more softly -- less bone on bone.

SO...is this typical of healing?

How do you know when you're healing?
