What exactly is in my neck making it crack and creak for 3 years? Lactic acid? I find it hard to believe inflammation can stick around for so long. Is it a blood flow issue? I have babs and lyme will tx resolve this symptom? I hate waking up in the morning and just having to hear the most unnerving neck crack "CRACK" every @#$%ing morning. Just a constant reminder that something is f2398ed.

Gosh my neck will crack every time I rotate it.
It never did this prior to Lyme and co-infections.
The stiffness has mostly left with babesia treatment.
My right knee does this too.
Hugs,

Hi All
I am perty sure that Babs is the cause of cracking joints and stiff neck-
My neck used to be so stiff and crack- you could here it across the room - I am not kidding -
Once I started treating Babs Also - the cracking stiff joints slowly went away-
I think taking Gluecosimine Sulfate(GS) is also a good thing to do- it repairs the cartilage damage that Babs causes -Jay--

As Jay did with babs, so I was able to do for Lyme for six months while clindamycin was working - suddenly, no more crazy bone cracking. Am back on clinda again, it's working, so looking forward to a reprieve for a little while.

My neck has cracked for years ever since I got diagnosised with Lyme. I had MRIs they claim arthritic changes to the C1 cervical spine. There is no pain it really only cracks when I turn my head to the right not the left.
