A member asked:
I always feel like i need to stretch. especially my legs, it's in the day and night. my bones crack everytime i do it. am i just stiff? i'm only 19

Stretching is good: Cracking joints is not always a bad sign of anything.If your joints are red, swollen, painful, feel unstable, or hurt, u should get checked out. Stretch gently ; don't bounce.
