I've had arthritis (RA) since I was 19, but I don't have clicking or popping. Not that I am a bg fan of chiropractic, but maybe you need to be realigned.
I have a cousin that swears by Certo and orange juice. He was just telling me about it yesterday. 1 tablespoon of Certo in 6 oz of orange juice. I did a little research and from what I saw on the internet most folks do 8 oz of either grapefruit juice or pomegranite juice. He says he only has to do this for a couple of days and then he is good for about a year.
I am going to give it a try.
I was under the impression that clicking and popping, if unaccompanied by any pain or limitation of motion, was not any sort of problem?
Hasn't been for me anyhow. I have clicky-poppy bits, and arthritic bits, but the two do not coincide and the former has never progressed to the latter, for me.
I don't know what is causing it, but if it is not painful I would suggest what I do--Just really good stretching. Sometimes I get hip and knee popping, and it seems like really good yoga or stretching helps things balance out again. Good luck!
Morel- Thanks for reminding me about glucosamine. I took some this morning.
Aidenbaby- I am in my 40's so it wouldn't surprise me.
Miss_ the north- I went to a chiropractor once years ago and couldn't stand it. Although it did cross my mind that I might need to do it.
2dream- I googled Certo and I might try that. I don't think it would hurt anyway.
patandchickens- I am having some pain when I twist my arms a certain way and I do have some limited motion. I am not sure if this is arthritis though. I almost think there are pinched nerves involved.
Makay- One thing I do is drink lots of water!
I am having inflamation.
I was thinking maybe my body was too acidic but I eat a lot of vegetables especially now that my garden is producing well.
My husband thinks it is our mattress,
I just know it is driving me crazy! I can't stand the noise of bones clicking and popping.
I suggest having a doctor (or chiropractor; mine had an x-ray machine) take some x-rays to be sure. The arthritis in my knees pops, in my feet it felt like I broke my foot and my hands usually only get stiff. So I'm thinking that the "feel" of it can vary as to location and use.
