@tempwatk how are you now? Was it whiplash?

No I still want to crack my knuckles. I never said I didn't try. I do try. All the time. The problem is they rarely crack now. I can just bend them back and nothing happens.

I'm the same. I can barely get my knuckles to crack nowadays. Shame.

What you have is gout. Very, very painful.

@jacobox No.

Oh dear.

I would give anything to be able to crack my back and neck. No matter what technique I use it doesn't work.

Elbows for sure.

I'm a Podiatrist.

Was it me you where thinking about perchance?

That's called your Styloid Process.

Thank you. I haven't been on in ages!

Apparently the cracking sound is gas in the synovial fluid being compressed and released. Once this has happened you have to wait until the gasses build up in the joint again.

Yes. At least 15 - 20 mins.

What is this all about?

Put your thumb on the side of the joint and pull the top of your toe out sideways. You'll get a lovely crack that way!

G*d that would be a nightmare! I can just imagine….... 8O

Head for a chiro!

Funny that's what I'm finding too! I thought it would be the other way round! Maybe your joints loosen as you get older. Then you get arthrtis and can't move them at all!

Knuckles, then I stagger to the shower. After that, whatever goes first!

Tried this one and nearly crippled myself! 8O
