Does Knuckle breaking at neck at regular intervals when I'm feel stressed, will that leads to an disk injury or any problems in future. Usually I keep doing that when I work out in gym.

Hi Mr. Lybrate-user forceful/jerky twisting of neck can potentially cause a cervical disc prolapse and you should avoid doing that. It is better that you learn some isometric neck exercises from a physiotherapist and do them when you feel" stressed"

Try to sleep without pillows-it helps your neck and shoulder muscles to relax properly and maintain a good spine posture.
