No: Joint cracking or popping is normal as long as it does not cause pain.

Pop : That is normal as has been said. Arthritis feels different and can have a grinding sensation in the joint with real pain on motion or the inability to move the joint or joints. You don't state that there is pain , so it is probably not arthritis.
