A member asked:
I've noticed irregular finger popping, or rather body popping, iz there a way to ease the habit of popping? i'd like to prevent joint damage.

Get checked: Some patients have excessive flexibility in their joints. This popping although may not cause pain can actually cause tendonitis and rarely dislocations of these joints. Please see your doctor to rule out connective tissue discarders such as Marfans and Ehlers Danlos.
