    Well? I don't mean break in half, you know, make a cracking noise. Me:

    Jaw (Infinitly)
    Neck
    Shoulders
    Elbows
    Wrists (Infinitly)
    Fingers & Thumbs (About 30 times)
    Back (Most of my vertabre(spell?)
    Pelvis
    Hips
    Knees
    Ankles
    Toes (Infinitly)

    Oh, and for all you people out there that might think it, cracking your joints doesn't cause arthiritis, it's been proven.

    ...Um isn't that all of them? Besides your fused joints, that is.

    used to crack my joints constantly when i was younger , managed to give it up but the fingers and spine still go if i stretch or something .
    im finding myself starting to crack my knuckles again without noticing ive done it till after then being pissed off with myself cos im trying to stop.
    its weird, its like some sort of subconcious addiction (AAAAARGH i just did it again when i finished typing)

    its not subconsious, your joints just crack easier the more you crack them, i always accidentally crack my joints

    Just about all of them. I can crack my neck, shoulders, and wrists in more than one way, and squatting down causes my left knee to make a strange tearing sound...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 784 ✭✭✭Belisarius


    All Fingers and thumbs and toes, both elbows, and my Knees which Always makes me worry


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,488 ✭✭✭SantaHoe


    At any time, on demand, just my right thumb... and even then I can only crack it once.

    most joints i can anyway except my knees


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,513 ✭✭✭BrianD3


    I can crack most of my joints. All the usual ones like ankles, knees, knuckes, elbows, back. Plus I can crack my nose where the cartilage meets the bone. And I can sometimes crack the middle of my sternum (chest) by pulling back my shoulders and arching my back. I thunk this is supposed to be a fused joint but apparently it's quite common for people to be able to crack theirs.

    I don't feel so bad now lol

    The left side of my jaw clicks, but I can make a loud crack with it if I try ;)

    My kneecaps click sometimes as well, but I never try & make 'em!

    Apart from that, hmmm I don't think anything else goes regularly enough for me to notice...
