<s>[INST] Thought i had a really bad crick in my neck...but the pain has been ongoing now for a week....sometimes severe....nasds dull the pain....also when i turn my head from side to side i feel a popping in neck...can you give me a clue as to what it might be [/INST] Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You are having neck pain in specific movements, so possibility of cervical spine related problem is more. So consult orthopedic doctor and get done clinical examination of cervical spine and MRI of cervical spine to rule out disease. Spondylitis, osteoporosis, arthritis, Disc prolapse etc. can cause similar kind of symptoms. So don't wait at home. Consult orthopedic doctor immediately and diagnose what you are having. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks. </s>
