Facial tingling and drooping features.

Rubber band snapping feeling in neck.

Painful neck rubber band feeling. Snapping sensation like a rubberband being popped on my forehead during a flight. If that old rubber band is gently stretched and then released it will maintain its shape. Another possible factor in neck crepitus could be the snapping sound of ligaments and or tendons as they move over bones or other tissues located in the neck region.

When the attack occurs there is no warning. Now think of an old dried out rubber band. It feels like something pops or snaps the pain is sharp and only lasts for a minute or so almost like a tendon or muscle snaps in half obviously thats not what it is. I always have sinus pressure but this time it did not clear up w.

What causes a snapping feeling in neck shooting up to head. Md every so often i if i turn my head suddenly i get a snapping feeling like an elastic band snapped in my neck and shoots up the left side of my head first i am wondering what this. Ligaments and tendons are soft tissues that attach to bones yet they also can have strong elasticity similar to a rubber band. I was sitting at my desk when i felt a rubber band snap the side of my neck which caused my neck to jerk.

Snapping is generally caused by a tendon and or bursa. It scares me every time it does it because it catches. Every once in a while i was get a painful sensation on the right side of my neck. It will withstand a lot of stretching and still return to its original shape.

The tendon or bursa may be inflamed and if so will often cause painful snapping. A new rubber band is resilient. This happened 3 more times before i realized that what i thought was someone shooting me with a rubber band was actually an internal issue. Today the area is still sore.

However if it is suddenly pulled forcefully. I turn my neck and bam it occurs maybe once a month. Then after a few minutes its fine. Even if you pull it hard it will still spring back.

And yes this will feel way more intense than i slept wrong last night so if you experience severe neck pain play it safe and call 911. I can feel it on the entire length of my neck. Or in any muscle group that bands around your body like your neck head around your arm or leg as opposed to the kind of spasticity that moves up and down the muscle causing contractions in your leg for example. Snapping will be herein differentiated from popping at a joint by the more common description of snapping as a superficially felt sensation.

The pain lasts about 30 seconds and my vision is effected. I looked around the classroom for the rubber band shooting culprit but never saw anyone.
