@Patudo:

NEEECK!! It's almost essential. I need the shock of it to jolt me into wakefulness. It's like starting the ignition on a twin-engined boat. Pull head to one side (normally the right side first). Crack. Left side activated. Pull to the left. Crack. Right side is on.

On days when I'm having a lie-in, I will also often, rather peculiarly, crack my toes repeatedly before getting up.

Does your neck ever crack automatically?

@chococrazy:

Just ignore him he's a selfish idiot. He thinks he is the only one who matters in life.

No I do not.
People have cancer, AIDs, and all I have is a puny neck clicking problem.

I UNDERSTAND THIS.

But that doesn't take away the immense stress and agony it has put me through and continues to put me through.

:lol:

The relief is amazing; having said that if i never got punched in the neck i would not have to crack it anyway and put up with all the pressure and stress.

This is very interesting, as I had tried to give up cracking for new year (and failed miserably), but this article actually shows that jointcracking is not harmful at all. Indeed I believe it to be beneficial and find it helps me relax and wind down. I play a lot of rugby and guitar, and I only feel like I can play at maximum capability if I have cracked all my joints and stretched.

@Danielle:

no its not, and you don't need to act like a baby about this. UGH.

no i just think he's incredibly narrow minded to not at least give this forum a go.

@Danielle:

BigFire: STOP REPLYING to DJ100. He does not listen and the more you reply the more he posts and posts and posts. He wont post if you don't acknowledge it. You're not going to tell him anymore than the thousands of thoughtful replies he has received from the countless other boards he has posted on. He has to do this himself.

well i am seeing a therapist so i have taken peoples advice, what more do you expect me to do?

@sony1:

Hi
This is sony1. I think tell about the Jointcrackers. I have been cracking my joints compulsively for roughly 2 decades so I cannot hope to expect much results this early. I think this site is to be useful to whom wants to Jointcrackers with they require to see this.

You posted one post of gibberish, with a link in your signature.

To crack my knees, usually I am using my laptop in bed, and my legs are straight out. I then push my left inner foot against my right foot toes and push to the right, and I usually get a single or double knee crack. Then I reverse this and push my inner right foot against my left foot toes and push to the left. I do not move my position or laptop, so the movement is subtle. But big cracks do feel good.

stop whinning and use hyour head to make money…;0;

I know this is an old thread but I had a funny thought… for whomever may read this thread....

Just massage your husband's hands and feet and crack his fingers and toes... he'll love it and become addicted just like you, and then he won't be able to complain anymore! Hehehe....

you're lucky then!!!

@MonkeysUncleByMarriage:

I've thought about going to a chiropractor due to the stiffness I have in my back and I really can't crack my own back.. never really been able to much… but my insurance at work doesn't cover chiros, so I have been holding off until things are financially better or until the wife and I return from vacation.

well in england we have to pay for private stuff, i dont think chiros are on the NHS are they?

yeah good idea

@DancingJester:

I don't do my neck (or anything above it) or my shoulder type joints, nor hips, etc. thank g*d. I don't need anymore! 😛

What the h**l IS there to crack above your neck?!

I used to do my neck, and my back all the time but my back began to hurt so I stopped that.

lol you're lucky.
i literally HAVE to crack my neck every morning, because its always so stiff when i wake up… just my luck :oops:

glad with what
