HI I am experiencing severe grinding noise which seems o emulate from the base of my skull when I turn my head, Although this is not painfull, I have lots of tension in this area and around my right sholder. I am an active 38 year old female, 5ft 3in and just under 10 stone.
Hi, These noises should not bother you, and you should remain active and carry on as you would normally. Perhaps, try relaxation techniques of breathing, yoga, or meditation.  These can often time relieve enough muscle tension in the neck and shoulders to reduce such sounds, but they do not represent anything serious. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
