Noise popping & cracking of joints
This is my 2nd attempt at posting, so please work with me. I have a problem with my back popping or cracking like you would crack your nuckles. As I bend or flex my joints pop/crack all the way up to the neck and back down. I also feel like the breast bone/rib cage cracks. This goes on and on. Initially it is ok, but after a few repititions it begins to get sore and irriate me. I know we all creek as we get older, but this is a little too much creeking.
Others can hear this popping and they usually comment. When I was a kid my mom would say don't crack your kuckles as it will make them large and painful when you get older. I am asking myself what did I do to get this?
About 5 years ago I had a fusion done and I have rods and bolts from L3 to S1, but it seems they still crack/pop. Is this a sign of things to come or just a silly thing our body does?
If you can point me in the correct direction I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you,
