@JointCracker:

Today, I felt the uncomfortable pressure buildup in my knees, ankles and toes very strongly again.

The more I think about OCDs and other psychosomatic disorders, the less I understand how they can make you feel real pressure like this.

I don't yet believe I am making this all up by sheer wicked brain power.

When I felt the pressure today I was at a rather low stress setting. But I did eat something shortly before which I might have had an allergic reaction to? :roll:

There has to be some real bodily explanation for that pressure feeling build up so many of us experience.

It isn't just a tick like nail biting.

Any time I eat dairy, of any kind, in the afternoon or evening, I regret it. I sit there in bed for hours with the uncontrollable NEED to crack my ankles, feet, and toes. Sometimes advil will help, sometimes not. I don't know why this is a problem, but it's annoying as h**l.

@carpal:

i just got out of the habit of purposely cracking my jaw but now i'm doing it again :evil: i need to stop. has anyone had any serious injury from cracking their jaw? i'm mostly worried about possibly dislocating it.

I used to do this compulsively all through highschool. It was a hard habit to break, but I doubt it did any damage.
