I used to get neck pain after I cracked my neck. Then I stopped doing it becuase the pain was really horrible.Initially, I have always experienced some amount of pain in every new joint I cracked. The pain reduces over time. But in this case it was impossible to bear.

If I dont crack them my fingers, elbows feel numb. I also find myself enjoying just applying pressure to a joint even though the pressure doesnt reault in a crack. Also it seems like a number of people (like myself) enjoy and can get a habit of cracking other peoples joints.

I feel numbness in my joints if i dont crack them.

jstephens4, i agree with the chronic search for other joints to crack.

my wife tells me that i am cracking my joints in my sleep.

I think you can hear me crakcing a joint in about every 10 minutes if i am not particualrly busy with something…I am trying to quit now though(encouraged by this site)...so wish me luck..

I was about 11 12. I first saw my father cracking his fingers. I wondered how he does that and quickly figured it out.I have been cracking various joints in my body ever since…(for about 20 years now)
