My joints crack more often than ever lately, every time I move something sounds, from a small high toe-joint crack to a deep bass hip bone, sometimes several in succession on my spine or neck, each vertebra pops-pop-pop.

I can crack my wrist joints at any time. The joints in my feet will each crack at least once a day, and sometimes in concert as well.

Neck cracks are worrisome, they’re either a symptom or a cause of bad posture and worse, that hunched over old-looking-ness. Sometimes shoulder cracks are incredibly, jaggedly loud and violent-seeming.

Strange there isn’t more pain, strange the body makes such brutal adjustments, air pocketing then sharp bursting, pressure and release, pleasure and shock.
