Bones/Joints popping & cracking

[Guest guest]

I do, I do. LOL When I get up from a sitting position I sound like

Rice Krispies. Everything has the snap, crackle, pop.

Hi traci,

Welcome to the group. It is interesting you mentioned about the

popping or cracking of the joints. As this has been happening to me

for a long time, before I was even diagnosed with RA.

I thought it was just a weakness in my body, but now I wonder how long

the signs were there!!! I have RA in my feet, ankles, knees, wrists,

hands shouders and neck, at times the pain is from fibro myalgia, that

I suffer from as well. It is hard to know what is playing up, but all

I can say it is very painful. I think I had RA a longer time than

when I was first diagnosed with it four years ago now.

You will find this group very helpful and it is great to deal with

people who really understand. Hope you have a good Rhuematologist and

support from family and friends as all of this helps.

Take care .

Hi and Welcome to the Group. I had to laugh at your question of

the bones & joints popping and cracking. Mine do it all the time. I

can't sneak up on anyone anymore because my bones give me away!! *LOL*

I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing - it just is and

most of the time it doesn't hurt when that happens either. Hope this

helps..........Doreen

Hello . I to have ra and all of my joints pop and crack. I also

have hypermobile joint syndrome, which is a fancy way of saying I am

double-jointed. My wrists are so loose that I can dislocate them at

will. (Not that I want to, but it happens.)

Hi!

I have this also. My knees, elbows and fingers dislocate themselves.

I wear a knee brace for my left leg, if it gets chronic. You are not

alone and my sister and middle child has the same thing. I have to get

ready for work, but I will have to read backwards on this group to

find out more about this.

I am not happy that others suffer with this also, but it is nice to

not feel all alone in this. It can get really painful.

Hugs,

Penny

Hi, Traci!

I am 58, & diagnosed with RA & Osteo 4 years ago.  I use Enbrel, MTX,

Prednisone, & Relafen, and am usually able to do most anything I need to without

too much of a problem. 

I have the popping in my elbows & shoulder.  Sometimes it is like the joint gets

stuck, & I have to make the motion again to make it move.  It is getting so that

other people hear it!  I

recently gave a hug to a friend at church, & she was startled by this noise.  My

husband has gotten used to hearing it as I toss & turn at night.  I have

mentioned it to my Dr., & she just said it is because of the arthritis.  That

was all she said, & I didn't ask anything else.  I guess it has gotten so common

for me that I don't notice it much.  Compared to other pain I have, it doesn't

really hurt.  It is just a nuisance.

Hello Everyone, I am new to this group and also new to RA. I was diagnosed in

Hi Judy,

Thanks for your post. The meds I use are Humira (just barely started

because I was scared), Prednisone (they take me off & put me back on),

Plaquenil, Methotraxate, a Calcium tablet (looks like tums) & Vitamin D-2.

Yeah, my husband can also hear my joints crack. I have the same problem

with my joints locking and having to move it back to place. Sometimes every

little thing I do causes a crack & pop. I wonder why some Drs say it is due to

arthritis and others say it could be anything. It is so confusing sometimes,

lol!!!

Thanks so much!! :-)

Keep in touch!!!

When my shoulders get too tense up and spastic, I shrug them and both

will pop. I told my rheum about it and he said pops are just air being

release in the joint. Somehow the pop seems to help my bad shoulders.
