Board 8 > Do you/can you crack your joints?

(+) Yeah! (+)

get crackin

I can crack my knees on occasion and it's apparently pretty loud

I can crack my left ankle on command as frequently as I want and always have been able to, not sure why

no they smoke ok as is

No and I have no interest in this

an internal medicine doctor told me that it's healthy

i trust her judgment

Three knuckles and unfortunately my right ankle lately.

my joints are cracking every time I stand up

Blaze it

for some read instead of JOINTS i read PENIS and I was like WHAT

My favorite is the dude who, as an experiment, cracked one of his hand's knuckles for years and years, just to see what would happen

Neck and knuckles all the time.

Back, wrists, and toes sometimes.

My joints definitely feel much less stiff in the short-term as a result of doing this. I have no idea what if any long-term health implications there are.

All the knuckles, usually I can get a few cracks in my back, stretching my arms way up usually gets a small crack from somewhere, doing a kick motion while holding my knee in place gets them to pop (relieving when they get stiff), and starting to squat down (or sometimes simply going down the stairs) gets my ankles to crack. Also stretching my jaw forward can sometimes make my right jawbone crack, but I don't do that unless it feels like it's gotten out of alignment a little. My neck used to crack by twisting it from side to side, but I think that's stopped as I've put on more muscle.

I can only intentionally crack my knuckles. Other joints crack sometimes, but I don't really control them.

I can flex my glutes really hard and crack my tailbone.

Just reading this topic title made me physically cringe.

holy shit

should I try this

All the cracks everywhere

The topic title took me a minute. For some reason my mind went straight to marijuana joints.

But yeah, both ankles any time I want. Knuckles about twice a day.

Knuckles pretty often, sometimes my toes

Ankles, knees, knuckles, shoulders for me.

Knuckles, back, knees, and toes basically every day.
Other joints from time to time too.

Good luck and welcome to the elite club if you can do it. I dont know anyone else who can do this outside of random reddit posters who claim they can do this as well.

Granted I can also pop my whole back too by just flexing my back muscles.

Also its a different kind of relief compared to other spots on the body. It kind of hurts at first.

my knees crack against my will all the time

Knees, ankles, neck and knuckles easily. Other parts sometimes but not always

Neck all the time, knuckles and jaw some of the time, elbow too.

Voted for the knuckles option. I find that I have to routinely crack my index fingers or they get hard to move. My dad had arthritis that he referred to as "trigger finger," so it's probably the same thing and I just haven't had to go through three decades of taking glucosamine with condroitin yet.

This sounds manly as fuck.

I dunno if it actually is, but it sure sounds like it would be.
