Cracking Joints: A Habit or a Necessity?

I always have to crack and pop my joints otherwise they start hurting a lot. Anyone else have to do this as well? It's definitely become a habit lol

Omg yes I have this wrist that will lock into place unless I pop it and it gets painful. Most of the time popping it fixes it entirely but sometimes it gets worse if i dont do it perfectly.

Also do be careful though! I crack my finger joints frequently and accidentally dislocated a couple times and subluxed way more

Yes and I've been told not to but I literally cannot help it but then I have a physical therapist that lets me crack myself into place after he adjusts me

Oh yeah mine have definitely been doing it on their own a lot lately. My hips and back will crack when I stand up and my ankles crack when I walk around. I'm only 18 but my body acts like I'm 80 😂😅
