I have a very noisy upper neck. Have for over 2 decades. My injury included a whiplash and vertical compression in C-1 and C-2.
In the morning, your cervical joints might be looser due to fluid build-up or inflammation. As you spend time upright, the fluid flows out and the cervical vertebra settle in closer. Regarding getting outside, MIT just released a study that shows that staying inside is a far greater risk that being outside. The enclosed space contains Covid particles. Your children have zero risk of catching Covid and near zero risk of passing Covid to adults. Only children with high risk medical conditions are at risk of Covid. Of the only 200 out of 74 million children who died from Covid in the past 12 months, they had an average of 2.6 high risk factors, same as those of us over 65. They have a higher risk of death riding in the car or riding bikes and skateboards. btw. My wife and I have had Covid and recovered before the test results came back positive. 4-5 days of a bad sore throat. We are 'at risk' seniors. Go live your life with your kids.

I have some thoughts you may want to consider. Do you enjoy cold showers? Is it something you look forward to or does the prospect stress you? I have noted from previous posts you have extraordinary self discipline. Do you force yourself to do them when you don't really want to? Cold showers release adrenaline leading to endorphin release and are said to reduce the stress hormone cortisol. However there is no doubt that cold showers increase blood pressure. My experience with cold showers is that they can create short lived fortification patterns (visual migraine) and that is associated with blood pressure fluctuations. This is speculative, but, I note you have headaches and photophobia at different times, migraine symptoms, again associated with BP fluctuations. Do you need cold showers when they are proven to alter Blood Pressure? As I say headaches and light sensitivity are both associated with migraine symptoms and migraine symptoms are associated with Blood Pressure fluctuations. I wonder if, as a person prone to anxiety, that daily cold showers do you any good?? I get the Wim Hoff mantra that the temporary daily stress makes you stronger but is that appropriate for you especially in this time leading to exams? Furthermore if you have neck/back issues, does sudden cold water actually cause muscle tension in that area and make things worse? Perhaps finishing with a hot shower would be more relaxing? Crepitus ... thanks for the info Jomar ... I experience that, but after a neck twisting move from the chiropractor that would kill you in a film like KIll BIll, my neck becomes silent on rotation only to grind again the next day.
