Hi there, I am 26 and have been cracking for about 5 years. It started with having people walk on my back. At the time I did not have any stiffness but it felt good when it cracked so I started to do it more and more. Eventually I needed to have it cracked otherwise it would feel uncomfortable. Now my cracking has spread to my neck, shoulders, hands, arms, feet, ribs even tailbone it seems. No amount of cracking provides any relief and I either take muscle relaxers or ibuprophen to cope. The stiffness and pain seem isolated to my right side which is strange because I am lefthanded. I have tried chiropractic adjustment, massage therapy with no success my next step is accupuncture. Has anyone experienced one sided stiffness? Also has anyone benefited from acupuncture?
