I've been having also da crunchy sounds on my right side of neck only. Turning my head to da left hurts, while turning to da right wuz fine. Now I'm getting headaches bad. I first thought dey wuz my migraines. But dis is not a migraine. My head feels like my brains are going push through my skull in da front. Head feels like how The Elephant Man felt. Heavy like I'm about to topple over if I look down. Da headaches are back, blurry, warm tingling sensation over face and now whole neck hurts to be touched. Front, sides and back.

The sounds you're hearing when moving your neck, often described as "crunchy" or "grinding" noises, are called "crepitus." Crepitus in the neck can be due to several factors:
- Osteoarthritis: As cartilage wears down over time, bones can come into closer contact, causing this sound.
- Tendon or ligament movements: Sometimes the tendons or ligaments can make this sound as they move over bony structures.
- Cervical Spondylosis: Age-related changes that affect the cervical spine in your neck.
Headaches and Heavy Head Sensation: Multiple conditions can cause headaches, but tension-type headaches or cervicogenic headaches (originating from the neck) are two possibilities. The heavy head sensation could be related to muscle tension in the neck and shoulders.
Blurry Vision and Tingling Sensation: These symptoms could be related to nerve compression or irritation, possibly in the neck region. The cervical spine contains nerves that can, when irritated or compressed, lead to various symptoms, including tingling sensations or visual disturbances. Another possibility could be related to blood flow or vascular issues.
Neck Sensitivity: If the whole neck is sensitive to touch, it might indicate muscle strain, inflammation, or some other forms of irritation in the area.
This analysis is based on the symptoms you've provided, and without a full examination and history, it's hard to give an exact diagnosis. If you believe your situation is worsening or if your symptoms persist, it's essential to seek help from a doctor.
