Hi there cracking in back neck knees that’s me , feel like the tin man from wizard of oz, Perhaps when you next visit your surgery get some advice , they sometimes order a blood test to check you out, I had a bone density scan it’s shown up oesetoprosus in back , had an early change think that dosent help really.

Yes it is loud my neck. Knees the loudest, but differently getting things checked, bone scan dosent take long, I take the rite tabs from doc to help as well x

ohh yes. Badly in the ankles until I had an operation to sort the bone spurs and re-attach some ligaments that had somehow detatched themselves. After that the noises stopped and the ankles became much more stable. I was always going over on them. The neck does it too which normally means I am overdue a chiropractor appointment. Apparently my neck alignment is out and he puts it back in the correct position by manipulation and deep muscle massage which is heaven. Lasts about 3-4 weeks then I am back to cracking and popping again. Shoulders too but think that is down to the calcific tendonitis. This fibro lark is fun is it not

I have hypermobility in my joints so that's a yes from me. X

I used to use a chiropractor years ago in my 20's. He used to crack my neck, sounded like he had broke it. Never lasted for more than a couple of days without pain. What is hyper mobility? Xx

[kymkat]

[Mandypandy1969]
