Chiropractors are bad - don't go to one again. Maybe if the problem is diagnosed then hypnosis could like do something...? _________________ Leaving on June 4th Back to top Benny Posted: Thu May 29, 2008 6:28 am    Post subject: Jointcracker Joined: Mar 31, 2007 Posts: 11 Location: Ontario, Canada Hey Blaze - aren't chiropractors just professional crackers? At least they get paid - paid well - for cracking joints. _________________ " I yam what I yam and thas all that I yam" Popeye Back to top Blaze Posted: Thu May 29, 2008 6:31 am    Post subject: Supreme Jointcracker Joined: Jul 15, 2007 Posts: 1463 Location: Sweden Yeh. But they aren't recognised in the medical field. The theory of their profession is bogus. They cause a lot of injuries and hook you. _________________ Leaving on June 4th Back to top MasterCracker Posted: Thu May 29, 2008 7:47 am    Post subject: Elite Jointcracker Joined: Feb 16, 2008 Posts: 314 Location: Cali hey benny I'm 31 I get what your saying better now "my last sentence" was trying to make sure i understood, not reiterate but I get get it Loud n Clear now Your 'condition" is more than the effects of aging AND causes you Great discomfort how long have u been experiencing this? Is the condition bilateral (happening on both sides)? I find it Intriguing that cracking Improves your ROM I've def never heard of you condition NOR have the solution I do have sympathy though I have scanned most of this site at this point n there are no similar stories I have seen. Do you believe that cracking has helped the situation, created the situation, or is a neutral factor?

It seems though that you have more of a disease/disorder that is affecting your joints. Arnica is a great anti-inflammatory. Best wishes.

It is bi-lateral in that the left shoulder and arm are now experiencing the same problems and will most probably result in an operation as well. Bi-lateral carpal tunnel developed about 2 years ago. I crack methodically throughout the day to provide range of motion and discomfort relief as required - some days are worse than others but these procedures sometimes involve a consecutive and adjoining series of cracks to get the desired result. For example, I may have to crack 2 or three fingers in my right hand either sideways or by pulling them and then my right elbow and then my right shoulder and then my right cervical spine which altogether gives relief for the arm and neck. Other times it may be only the right clavicle sternum joint and then the neck. Other times maybe only a single joint like the neck. It occurs as required when my body parts are giving me discomfort signals which always results in the need to crack them. This is what I find most odd about it - my body is actually displacing the joints either by autonomous muscle or tendon contraction or joint synovial fluid NO2 build-up which causes me to know automatically which joint to crack and to what extent. Even single digit joints like the thumb or a toe. Now every medical professional I have not only explained this to but actually demonstrated and called the cracks before hand feels that I either just have hyper-flexive joints or they look at me like I am on the verge of being psychotic. I think I may have some invasive condition or may be the result of environmental exposures - like heavy metals etc that may be causing this and will continue to slowly attack various areas of my body. I have recently started getting right hip pains and have to crack my right ankle and knee to relieve them. I have also had bone spurs occur and there is a bump about the size of a grape on my right upper sternum where the first rib joins which the doctors says is probably coastal chondritis. I am of the opinion that all these are inter-connected and a result of something either chemically or biophysically out of balance in my system. What I find truly remarkable in all this is that there does not appear to be anyone else out there suffering from these problems tied to joint cracking. It may be that I am the first and others from your generations may develop similar problems. I have 3 sons and two of them have the same joint cracking needs in most of their joints but do not have any pain or abnormal conditions yet. Hopefully I haven't bored you all but there it is and I now step out of the spotlight to resume my place as a junior jointcracker.
