What are the chances?

[Anonymous]

i pop my neck quiet often and sometimes when it doesn’t pop i force it to relieve the pressure i read somewhere that doing it can cause a stroke what are the chances of causing a stroke to me and should i stop worrying if so i am a hypochondriac and just wondering if my issue of finding the words to use usually just larger words or more adept words could be related to a stroke otherwise i have no physical issues other than getting a headache sometimes after popping it too much

Never force it. And you really shouldn’t be twisting to pop it. There are a few safer techniques you can find demonstrated online that should give you better, longer lasting relief. Alternatively I would look into seeing a reputable chiropractor. They can do some X-rays and attempt to find any possible injuries that could be resulting in your need to always pop your neck.

the pressure is a problem. healthy necks don't need popping i would go to a real doctor

I have never heard of a stroke but calcium build up and narrowing around the nerves yes. I had to have neck surgery
