I crack my joints often, including a wrist attempt every day (without fail). I have OCD.

RE: Results of over 10 years of popping
I say be careful, do not do any unnatural movements. The only thing unnatural I ever do is bend my wrist, up to 160 degrees and it doesn't hurt. But I'll make sure not to do anything extreme. Thanks for warning.

Want to crack joints more?
I can crack joints about 50x a day, but I wish to crack more, especially my wrists.

RE: So what caused your joints to crack?
In the back seat of an old 1984 Lincoln Town Car, when I was five, I bent my toe and it made a weird sound. I have been popping for ten years.

RE: How easy is it for you to crack your joints?
Every five minutes, I can crack fingers.
Every ten minutes, I can crack toes.
Every twenty minutes, I can crack ankles.
Every thirty minutes, I can crack back.
Every thirty minutes, I can crack jaw.
Every 2 days, I can crack wrists (I LOOOOOOOOVE this feeling)These numbers are highly variable.

RE: Sleep and cracking
Yes. I crack a lot more, and more severely, when I've been sedentary for hours. The effect of sedentariness is to the point where I can only crack my wrist, sometimes, after a 1+ hour sleep. The effect is especially severe in my wrist I am lying on my back instead of my side, and even more severe if my arms are crossed above my head.

RE: Jaw
I never pop my jaw on purpose, I have mild TMJ (which isnt fun for those of you who don't have it)… my jaw will pop when I eat things that I have to open my jaw more than normal for, or sometimes when I yawn, or even when I'm talking... chewing gum makes it worse, and it will ache for up to 5 minutes afterward... not cool.
I'm really glad I do not have TMJ, as I began popping my jaw in 6th grade on February 2, 2005. I hope your TMJ doesn't worsen.
Edit, August 21, 2008:
I still don't have TMJ. I continue to pop my jaw. I hope your TMJ is not worsening
