I was told to keep doing it, hypermobility was better than hypomobility.

what's the difference?

Hypermobile - too loose. Your joints sound like rice krispies and you can bend them in strange directions.

Hypomobile - too tight. Restricted movement, pain.

See a physiotherapist, fill in the questionnaire they have. Chances are, they can help.

Top of the spine, where it meets the skull. Done it once, by accident. Ouch.

Well, my back is hypermobile (double jointed) and cracks basically every time I move it. shrug Doubtless you can crack joints that aren't hypermobile, but mine are and they crack.

Just tried that. It worked, and all.

Hey, I get this too. I think it's related to my back problem mostly, when I straighten my back I get a crack in my chest and opposite it in my spine.

I've got a hypermobile spine. Every single joint in my spine cracks. My ribcage, shoulders, clavicles, hips and ankles crack, also occasionally my knees, elbows and wrists. My jaw cracks. If I stay too long in a bad posture, I occasionally hear a hissing sound, like bubbles moving. I can totally believe bubbles are the cause of cracking joints.

On bad days, when I walk it's like rice krispies in my spinal column.

The joint between my skull and spine once clicked and gave me pins and needles in my entire body, that was scary.

I can just about cause nerve pain in extremities by assuming bad posture.

I crack my knuckle joints in my fingers, mostly because it worries my wife.
