thanks all
i am 46
however i was diagnosed with wear and tear at the base of my spine when i was 15 ...
my neck has crunched probably from around my teens, heard it descibed as like broken biscuits -
i put it down to my hypermobility, which seems to mainly affect my neck hips and spine
this newish noise and feeling though - i would best describe it as the feeling of 2 unglazed ceramic pieces scraping together - you know the ring of unglazed area on the base of plates and cups etc
or the back of a tile
or 2 pumice stones
the sound and feeling is very noticeable when i have earplugs in - its not a crunch, its a smooth-ish scrape
the only way to stop the smooth scraping is to either click my neck upwards, or use a neck brace to lift my head
that is what is making me wonder if the lump is supposed to be in between whatever is making that noise - my gut feeling is that it is bone rather than cartilage that is scraping
as i said, my physio told me my neck had abnormal movement - like that of a broken neck
