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

I find that (minor) pain comes from NOT cracking. :roll:

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.

Welcome to Jointcrackers, reena! I'm poppoppop, 15 years old, and have been cracking for ten years.

With time, all will crack except pinky toes.

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

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.

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.

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.

@snus17:

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

I love to crack my joints… I've done it for nine years, since I was only five years old.

Well, when it comes to 'satisfyingness', I'd say my big toes and my 2nd toes are in a tie.

Hi ZPitcher! I am a big poster too, but I also run out of things to say sooner or later.
And I would have to agree that posting is highly addictive.

I pop my ankles whenever I can, but I can only get a series of pops about every hour.

I've popped my elbows too, and it sometimes doesn't feel too good. The "pop" sound is very low, and it's quite painful. But sometimes, I pop them and get a good pop!

My fingers feel more flexible for a few minutes after they pop, but for me, I think I have had a slight loss in finger dexterity since I began popping my fingers.

Well, I have two ways I crack my back:
The first one produces a quite loud pop, but needs a helper that is taller than you. For me, that helper is my father. He lifts me up relatively (but not extremely) hard, slowly, and that usually produces a few cracks.
The second one does not provide as loud of a pop, and needs you to be sitting in a chair. The top of the chair's back needs to be about level with your middle back. I kind of compress my back against the chair whilst leaning back with my upper back. For me, the perfect chair to do this in is my seat in my Algebra I class. I do not recommend popping your back this way, and have been trying to figure a new way to pop my back.

Cool research

Well, I couldn't vote (poll was closed) but I lean right too.

Good advice JC
