My DD does it (15) and her dad did it our whole marriage.

My mum used to bang on about how bad it was and get angry immediately if she heard someone or me do it (even accidentally).

So I never did it AND I inherited her 'issue' with it... which is a problem for ME because DD does it constantly and a problem for DD because she knows how much it irritates me even though apparently its just a genetic trait.

I wish I could drop it - but I immediately feel annoyed whens she cracks her knuckles, feet, back, neck... And she does it multiple times a day sad.gif

Im not sure if its necessary for her to feel 'better' but thats what she says, that she has to do it.

Ex used to say the same thing.

Weird.

And annoying because of my inherited 'issue' with it.

Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur.
I've had joints that have popped and clicked my whole life. Ankles, knees, the odd hip, finger bones, sometimes a wrist.

I was walking around this morning and my left ankle was clicking until I rolled it around a bit and it settled.

I really do have to go get myself tested for BJHS. A physio has already said I'm hypermobile when I needed it for my back.
