I am a chronic neck-cracker, and recently I've been trying to stop myself because of some articles I've read about the dangers of doing so.Last night, however, my neck cracked itself, and now I can't move it in any direction without intense pain. I am not completely immobile, but I have very limited range of motion; aprox 8 degrees of rotation in any direction before I physically can't move any further without excrutuiating pain down my cervical spine.What can I do for myself to check the type of problem this could be? And if it will not require surgery, what can I do to help my recovery?

You do relize, I hope, that there could be something very wrong. Be very careful going to the doctor, wear your seatbelt and drive real slow. A auto accident could worsen the problem.
