snap crackle pop

[helium]

I was stretching in the computer lab today because my wrists were really stiff. I reached way up above my head and twisted my wrists and arms and both shoulders, both elbows, both wrists and my left thumb all popped. When I twist my wrists and ankles around they pop all the time, and I'll get random shoulder spasms that end up with them popping, and sometimes I get out of bed and my hip pops, and when I bend my knees more than 90 degrees they both pop.

What joints of your's pop regularly without you doing anything? It can't be your fingers if you're always pulling on them, or your neck if you're one of those weirdos who'se always yanking their neck around trying to break it. What stuff do you get popping just when you bend over or get up out of a chair?

Knees and back. It's the back I'm worried about. At work, my back kills me... and if I roll my shoulders forward, my upper back crackles like rice crispies.

I would like a new spine.

Most of them? The hips are the weirdest ones. I can get up or start walking and suddenly the sucker pops, and ... it sounds so weird. Solid.

Strangely, my fingers don't pop of their own accord though.

All.

Spine, fingers and ankles. My knees don't pop so much as crunch

My right ankle. It was in a cast three times while I was growing up. It's never forgived me for being so rough on it.

The eastern medicine view is that areas where you have popping are where tendons are tight and they snap over the bones. For me it's in my knees. Apparently, wherever you have a lot of popping is where you might have issues later on in life, but I haven't tested this theory yet. I've never been one of those people that cracks my fingers, I find it disturbing.

My knees and toes are the worst offenders. My right wrist often needs a good pop, but that's probably got to do with the multiple times I've sprained it due to horse riding/netball/football. Man, I used to be such an active kid until alcohol came into the equation, drat.

[Spike]

Toes. I crack them alllll the time.

My jaw, every time I yawn. Often quite loudly too!
