Title: Bone and Joint Popping Addiction
Post by: zeno on August 17, 2011, 05:18:05 am

Has anyone ever dealt with this addiction? Ever since high school I've been addicted to popping my knuckles and have progressed to my neck and back.

I've tried to overcome the addiction through will power but have yet to be successful.

I do that too. Do you suffer from anxiety? I think that might be the root cause.

Yes, but I don't think that is the root. I seem to do it out of habit and release of tension that builds--not so much to release stress. I think I did it to release stress in the past but don't do it as much for that reason.

I've only ever seen weak people popping their joints. Even if they were fatty or muscular they were always weak, like with weak joints/inflammation, or were vegetarian etc..
