hi there, i think i also get that "grinding" feeling. is it when it seems like the bones are sort of slipping over each other?
thanks

It's really hard to describe… it sounds like almost a million tiny tiny cracks all rolled up into one. i so wish i could see it happening through an xray or something!

I don't have a routine per se… I just crack everything I can all day long no matter where I am or what I'm doing.

My fave to crack is my neck. Sometimes instead of the clicking or popping sound, I'll get like a grind which I love!! They aren't very frequent but they're awesome when it happens. I also like to pop the inside on my legs by kicking out my legs one at a time. I usually get a nice pop there. My husband finds it all very disturbing. I love it!

Hiya, my neck will only crack if I do it, its never cracked involuntarily and I remember the first time I ever cracked it. It was by accident. I was doing homework and thinking and had one hand under my chin and I was stretching my neck when this loud pop happened! It freaked me out at first but I figured out, hey that's how I do it and I've been doing it since.

I am absolutely addicted to cracking that I crack in my sleep. In my sleep, I usually crack my neck, my back and my fingers. I do it so often sometimes I wake my husband by accident and he yells at me. He hates that I do it and swears I'll regret it one day. I can't help it though. It feels so good and I love the sound of it. My favorite is cracking my neck; though it used to be my back but its been a long time since I've gotten a really good back crack.

I often have fantasies of being strapped to a device and having x-ray videos taken specifically of spots I crack; it would be cool to actually see stuff happening while I crack. But I doubt highly that such a machine exists so I will continue to crack on my own and be satisfied that way.
