Do you "pop"??

Chris pops his neck, and everytime it gives me the heebie-jeebies, because it sounds as though he is breaking it. He pops his toes, and fingers, and even the girls are into the toe popping too! Especially Kellie, she will wait patiently as he pulls he little toes one by one. I have to cover my ears, when he does this to her. Most of the time they will wait until I am in bed, ready to doze off before they do it. So I just cover my head to block the sound.

luvmykids replied: I'm a horrible "popper" lol I pop my knuckles, neck and back all the time. I have to pop my neck and back or they hurt and I can't move!

amynicole21 replied: Yep - I crack most of my joints. Ankles, toes, fingers, neck, back, wrists... you name it. I wish I could stop though - it's mostly a nervous habit for me.

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: I don't, but DH does and it toally freaks me out too! As a matter of fact, he was popping Wil's toes yesterday and I told him to STOP! Since I've been sleeping on a maternity pillow, my neck and shoulders get sore...so I guess sometimes I will wake up, roll my neck and it will pop, but not I don't do it on purpose.

kimberley replied: ahhh that is like nails on a chalkboard for me.

thankfully i don't know anyone who does.

kayla's mama replied: Yep...If it can pop I'll find a way to pop it.



Same here...every morning I have to pop my back and neck and before bed the same thing or I can't sleep. I was miserable when I was pg with Kayla cause I couldn't pop my back anymore.

Sarah&Mackenzie replied: Yep, I "pop" my neck, back, fingers and toes.

My3LilMonkeys replied: I pop my fingers if I have been writing too much - they get sore & stiff if I don't.

AlexsPajamaMama replied: I'm a "popper" too! fingers, toes, neck and ankles

b&bsmom replied: I don't but dh does and it bothers me a little. I couldn't do it if I wanted to. It only happens by accident

jacobsmama replied: I'm a popper here!

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Nope, not a popper I wish my back would pop every so often..

ashtonsmama replied: When I twist around, my back pops, sometimes my ribs pop too-

And also my neck sometimes, but rarely pops...I used to pop/crack my knuckles! And my jaw pops, I have some mild form of TMJ (whatever that's called when your jaw pops open)...so I'm definitely a CRACKER!

Edward's Mommy replied: No because a doctor told me is causes arthritis and makes your knuckles big. Plus it grosses me out! But my knees pop naturally because I had tissue growing over the bone and had to have surgery to remove it. It impaired my ability to walk.

paradisemommy replied:
ditto..

Bee_Kay replied: Just my fingers once in a while.
Cant do my toes.... I don't think I would even if I could though

I can't pop my neck are rarely my back.

I went to the chiropractor with my sister a couple times... OMG! The way her back cracked and popped... my eyes were HUGE when I heard it!!

Celestrina replied: Sometimes. What's really disgusting is whenever I go up the stairs you can hear my knees crackle at every step.

A&A'smommy replied: NOOOO YUCK I hate that I think the reason why I really hate it is because number 1 its REALLY bad for you (unless done by a professional) and because when I was pregnant (didn't know yet I was like a week and half or something after conception) jeremiah popped my back from behind I literally dropped to the floor (nearly passed out) and lost my breath that now if anyway tries to pop my back I FREAK out.. plus I hate the sound blech

luvmykids replied:
Ya, learned that the hard way when I let a friend try to pop my neck for me and ended up in physical therapy!

~Roo'sMama~ replied: I crack my neck - I know it's bad for it but when it really hurts I can't help it. If I've been slouching down for awhile and I straighten up really fast my back pops.

I don't crack my knuckles though. I HATE it when people do the sound just grosses me out.

redchief replied: Back, wrists, ankles, elbow. When I pop my neck it's not intentional and it hurts because I have degenerated vertabre there.

MommyToAshley replied: I wasn't sure what to expect when I read the title of the thread.

But, no.... I don't "pop" or "crack" anywhere.

EvesMom replied:
What kinda doc told you that? I was told that was an old wives tale.

I pop and crack unintentionally. I've had arthritis since I was 16

Cece00 replied: If it can pop, I pop it.

Fingers, toes, neck, and I have my DH crack my back. It feels sooooo good. I used to be able to pop my elbows...sometimes I can do my ankles.

You cant get arthritis from popping your knuckles...its a myth.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Um, yes I am guilty of popping. Neck, back, fingers and toes at times. My hips pop sometimes too, but I don't have control over those.

My2Beauties replied: HECK NO! I hate the sound and that crap hurts me. Brian pops everything and it drives me crazy, his back, neck, fingers, toes. I hate it. Then he thinks its so funny to grab my toes and pop them, after I scream for a minute, he knows he's had it.
