This has been plaguing me for my entire life- my joints crack like crazy! It's in both ankles, the right side of my jaw, my back, my wrists, my neck, my elbows (which feel like I'm splitting plywood) and now my left ring finger's last joint! How can I get this to stop? It's a loud cracking and clicking noise which drives me batty all the time (NOTE: this is a result of normal movement, not me trying to crack the joint).
It also seems to be just me with the condition- I've never heard anyone with it.

514.4 first hit. I played this a lot in high school.
After about 6 or 7 hits got one to 531.6 then a 524.6
Theres a little gray circle about 2-3 cursor heights above the Yeti. When the penguin get there, click to swing. Guaranteed at least 400-500ft.

Sounds to me like old, dry papers or your just not licking them correctly.

Too much gas in your joints...that's the short answer.

593.5 :D

When I flex my left arm, my elbow makes a very cringing series of pops and cracks. It doesn't cause me any pain, but whenever I go to the doctor for any particular reason, I ask them what they think might be causing it. I don't get a very comforting feeling when they give me the :huh look.
I'll get it in my ankles every so often. They'll just make one loud "pop" when I flex them, like a stick breaking :uhoh

From what I've been told, joints "crack" (like "cracking your knuckles") when movement creates enough negative pressure that gasses dissolved in the joint synovial fluid pop into gaseous state. Same principle causes the bends when people change ambient pressure to rapidly, and ALL the dissolved gas goes to gaseous state at once.
On the other hand, the "snap crackle pop" that older folks run into comes from irregular joint surfaces, most commonly wear and tear to cartilage. This kind can be felt as a roughness or grinding from the joint when you rest your hand over the joint as it moves, and is called "crepitus". Now that I think about it, I suppose its possible that irregular surfaces could cause micro- areas where the negative pressure is more extreme in one particular cartilage crater, thereby getting small areas to have the gas pop into gaseous form.
So, Penguin, if your joints all seem to pop more easily I'd wonder if they are more flexible than many peoples', which would make them more prone to get enough movement to create the negative pressure
