Ok...me again...doing pretty well lately, but recently noticed that my right shoulder was making a popping sound when reaching across to make my bed in the morning. No pain, just a little stiffness and the sound. This happened quite often. Then, low and behold, the left shoulder started doing the exact same thing. I am in my late 50s, so figure it's just age creeping up on me. Yesterday, I did some weight exercises at the gym, and still no actual pain. Any ideas regarding the a.m. lack of flexibility and the sounds? (My knee pops, too, but doesn't bug me.)
Thanks!

Mine pop too, I don't give it attention anymore. I am a little bit hyperflexible, so that might explain it, but I feel it has something to do with muscles not being properly balanced because of TMS.
My old physiotherapist once told me you can easily reach 100 with popping joints.
I wouldn't worry about it. :) |

| Thanks! Good to hear that! My hubby has been complaining about his shoulder bursitis, so I thought maybe I was having TMS-type "sympathy symptoms"... |

Hi Sickagain,
First off, you gotta' change that web-name! I've seen many people here improve just by changing their moniker from a negative like yours to something more positive--you are what you think--or label yourself.
You cannot hurt yourself making your bed unless you fall out a four story window while doing it. If this were a car site, by now about six guys would be chiming in and saying: "READ YOUR OWNER'S MANUAL!" in your case that would be your Sarno. It sounds like you need a TMS "PENICILLIN KNOWLEDGE" booster.
Those "snap, crackle, pops" sounds are normal joint farts called crepitus or crapitus, or something like that, it's in the books. It's the sounds made by joints before they are warmed-up, before the bursae secretes it's synovial lubricating fluid, the WD-40 for the joints. Due to all the medical/industrial/media complex's fear misinformation propaganda, people are afraid to move beyond the warm-up stage because they have been conditioned to believe that they are doing irreparable damage and all that "bone on bone" B.S.
Change that name! Just do it! Make that bed!, and make mine while you're at it, I hate making the bed that's why I have a comforter.
G'luck!

| Perhaps you could mail Dave, the forum moderator, and ask him to change the name... |
