If you're experiencing a crackling or popping sound in your neck when you move it, it could be due to several possible reasons: 1. Air bubbles: the sound could be caused by the release of air bubbles in the joints of the neck as you move. This is similar to the sound produced when you crack your knuckles. It is generally harmless and not a cause for concern. 2. Joint dysfunction: it's possible that the crackling sound is related to joint dysfunction, such as misalignment or degeneration of the cervical spine. This could be due to conditions like cervical osteoarthritis or cervical facet joint syndrome. If the cracking sound is accompanied by pain or restricted movement, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional for an evaluation and appropriate management. 3. Muscle or ligament tension: tight muscles or ligaments in the neck can also cause cracking or popping sounds when they rub against each other during movement. This can occur due to poor posture, stress, or muscle imbalances. Stretching exercises, relaxation techniques, and postural correction may help alleviate these symptoms. If the cracking sound is not associated with pain, swelling, or other concerning symptoms, it is generally considered normal. However, it's always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis, especially if you're experiencing accompanying symptoms or if the sound is causing significant discomfort. The healthcare professional will be able to assess your specific situation, perform a physical examination, and may order additional tests if necessary. They can provide you with appropriate advice and treatment options based on the underlying cause of the crackling sound in your neck.

Probably because of the huge strain in the back your spinal muscles would have strained more and that makes your back to have more rigidity and pain. Since your young that can be resolved to greater extent. It might also be due to anaemia. The sound what you hear is due to the erosion of the spinal joints and rigidity. Back pain is due to anaemia and also due to the rigidity and stiffness you must be feeling sounds. First of all check your weight and your haemoglobin levels, as anaemia always leads to the symptoms of being tired and also having leg pain though there are no issues with the knee joint or back pain. If not if the pain radiates down the back of thigh and legs then it might be due to sciatica. Kindly consult the nearby physiotherapist. Hope you recover soon from the leg pain. The compression of the sciatic nerve should be around the right side that's the reason you have pain in the left side. That's the reason you cannot sit or stand and it is exactly around the l5 vertebrae where the sciatic nerve passes by.

Crunchy sounds what you are talking about is due to the nitrogen bubbles in joints. Not a problem.

At this age you are bound to be aroused by so many stimulii, try to find out and avoid e.g. Watching prone, continuously thinking about sex, going to places where you are aroused must be avoided. Don't remain alone, increase your social involvement make more good friends and give your time to them, spend more time in public. Engage your mind in other things. Some simple measures like exercise and meditation may help. But still if you are not able to overcome the problem you must consult a physician. We can add medicines also to support you. Regards.
