Embarrassing Joint Popping

My joints crack & pop with the slightest movement.. I’m to a point now where it’s embarrassing because it’s so loud.. when people are around me they hear it as well.. I guess that’s what makes it embarrassing. I’m not sure if fibromyalgia related (more than likely it is) but I just wish I could make it stop 😣

I know exactly what you're talking about, I take collegan hoping it will help but snap crackle pop I go it's from my seronegative rheumatoid arthritis tho.

My back pops really loudly and even more so recently. When people hear it I usually either make a joke like I think I broke my back or make some comment about that felt good. Somehow acknowledging it helps me feel a bit less embarrassed by it.

JustRachelle

yea I can see how making a joke helps.. I just hate that happens

I crack and pop all the time. It's my osteoarthritis related to my fibromyalgia that causes it. I just make light of it and laugh at myself. I can't help it that I make noises so that's my way to cope with it.

that’s what i try to do but I just don’t like it lol it’s more of a fake laugh it off

If you are not under the care of a rheumatologist I think you should go see one. Or an Orthopedist. Sending hugs.

rheumatologist says it’s fibromyalgia but i have to go back to an orthopedic I saw years ago because my back pain is worse 😣 I had a mri done in 2018 and it showed I had some mild degeneration so I need them to check that again in my neck/spine

My knees and ankles are the worst I don't think it's fibromyalgia because they say it's not supposed to cause actual problems but just the pain .. it's so frustrating not knowing
