Hello doctor I am engineer student leading a normal calm life. But I have one regret I have a cracking of neck similar to cracking of knuckle. Once I get tired or feeling terrible in by head I crack the sounds in my neck. I took x ray in my neck but I think its not the problem with bones. I want to know what type of problem it is or it is an habit formed by me.Thank you.
