Something in my neck is popping out of place

I have the same thing. Sometimes when I'm sleeping if my neck is bent funny it pops out of place or if I cough really hard when I'm sick. But when they do imaging everything looks normal because it's not popped out at the time of imaging. I used to get it in place super easy and now it's getting harder and happens more often. Going on 8-10 years of this. It feels like I'm popping cartilage back into place that pops out. Also make swallowing unbearably painful

I’ve had this happen to me since I was in high school, first time it happened I was washing my hair in the sink. I started to panic but then I was able to pop it back in place. I’m 49 now, I’m on here today because it happened again last night in my sleep and I’m not able to pop it back in place. This happened on the left side, painful to swallow and also feels like something is pulling all the way up to my ear. I have also told my doctors about this and they told me they’ve never heard or seen anything like this. I don’t know what to do, but you’re right it’s getting harder and harder to pop it back in place. I was looking online to see what I could do to get it back when I came across this support group.

@kleider13 I'm the exact same and I've noticed it happening more frequently. I've tried looking it up so many times and this is the first time I've come across other people who have the same issue.
