No.

My joints only 'pop' once. Then I have to go roll another one ;)

Don't lie. They pop constantly because buy cheap stuff and suck at finding all the seeds ;)

Yep, my left ankle. Sprained it 3 times in a month playing football and it now pops whenever it's extended or rotated.

Many joints in my back. :(

I imagine I'm going to have pretty severe back problems when I get older.

2 things make the pop sound
one is gas bubblebeing released from synovial fluid
the other is tendons moving over a piece of bone (imagine wraping a rubber band around your hand, and then when you make a fist, it sort of "pops" as it goes acrosss your knuckles from one side to the other.

My knees, elbows, fingers, toes, and ankles all pop, but they usually only do it once every couple hours or so.

It's easier to tell you what I can't regularly pop:

My jaw, it usually does it by itself maybe once a month and that's frequent for it.

Every other joint I can pop whenever I want.

Lol. When I was in band, I played a really high note and I felt something in the front of my neck pop. It freaked me out.

LOL! I'll open a chiropractic facility where I punch my patients into proper skeletal alignment. Whatever works I guess :)


That reminds me of Homer's chiropractic practice with the garbage can. Anyways, I can pop both my ankles by moving them up and down.

i can crack both of my elbows, by making a fist & straightening the arm out.

my neck, by sinking my head low and raising my shoulders.

something unique sofar from what i've seen is that i can crack my breastplate in the middle of my chest every 10 minutes or so, or just whenever i feel a buildup of pressure. but i think i'm developing some sort of arthritic pain in the past couple months. it's becoming hard to sleep on my side.

both my wrists, my jaw, my shoulder, my toes, my fingers (not so much of a crack as a "joints slipping" though)

I can't really pop my fingers at all, but several of my fingers on my left hand get "trigger finger." My finger(s) stick straight out, and I can't move them for a little bit. That's what I get for working on the damn computer for so long :disgust:.
