Hello, I am 19 and a chronic joint cracker. Smile

It all started for me after a long series of surgeries on my knee, which lead to constant pain in my knee, back, and neck. I saw a chiropractor, and liked that treatment, so I started doing it on my own. Initially it was just my back and neck I cracked, but then I started getting experimental. Once I started cracking my thumbs constantly, I was really into it, and found that the chiropractor sucked in comparison. Smile

I can't say that I do it to relieve any pressure I feel. Although cracking my neck and back does relieve some of my pain temporarily, I mostly do it because it feels good to me. I love the feeling, and I love the sound. Something I have noticed is, the sensation doesn't feel as good if I can't hear the sound of the cracking. Try it out (by playing loud music or screaming or something) and see.

During the course of writing this, I have cracked my thumbs six times. I am getting slightly worried about that though, because my right thumb is beginning to get sore. It's fine in the morning, but after a day of cracking, it starts getting sore again. Hopefully this won't continue much, because I love cracking, and I have no plans to stop, even if I do get some pain.
