cracking bones and joints Posted: 02-27-08 06:55am
I%u2019m sure this question has been asked
quite often (although i cannot find it on
this forum and don%u2019t really trust
other internet sites ).
I%u2019m sure we have all
%u201Ccracked%u201D a finger of two. But
ALL my bones/joints seem to crack. E.g.
fingers in all places and directions, same
with toes, jaw, lower back, knees, wrists
and elbow (in fact its more like the void
in between my radius and ulna).
What causes this?
And should I been concerned?
Many thanks

I have been wandering that too allthough I
do know that when "cracking" a joint, the
"sinovial fluid"...meaning the lubrication
between your joints...releases an air
pocket that causes the popping sound.
I have been having strange joint cracking
as of late as well...the one being from
the front, center of my rib cage. Which
might be related to the fact that the left
side of my rib-cage is more pronounced
than the right...(no idea why and my
physio & bio keeps wanting to know
when I broke my ribs... 0.0 even though I
have never broken any 0.o or even fallen
that would have caused it to get hurt o.0

Yep as seraph said its only the sinoval
fluid between ur joints releasing trapped
air it is neither dangerous or the cause
of arthritis as i am commonly asked lol.
