Right now I have shoulder and neck issues and this sound is making me wonder these questions.
In: 59
I have the same issue after i hurt my shoulder due to a jump while playing volleyball.
i was once at the doc and he gave me something like muscle relaxant but it didnt really help. I still have it but i consider going to the doc again beause i think i get headache from it
A slight educated guess – I suspect it is due to the joints moving.
You have stuff called ‘synovial fluid’ in your joints that’s basically like oil, sometimes when you ‘crack’ your joints, this is air/gas bubbles popping.
Your joints still can rub against eachother which can cause this noise.
It is Crepitus ([wikipedia page](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crepitus)) which is where we get “decrepit”.
[Decrepit](https://www.etymonline.com/word/decrepit) (adj.) “broken down in health, weakened, especially by age,”
me too man, this shit is driving me nuts.
I can barely sleep since every position seems to put some kind of pressure on neck or shoulder.
No matter how much I stretch it keeps cracking away
