Elastic tissue: Popping joints with normal x-rays suggests you might be hypermobile. Hypermobility implies increased flexibility in the tissue. Hypermobilty can be inherited and some of your relatives might also be loose. The tissue has more elastic tissue and thus more give to it. This is also called ehlers danlos syndrome and is the benign type called ehlers danlos type 3.
