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 😣

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

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

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.

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.
