Wrist popping: Most cracking and popping is from a build up of air pockets. Inflammation can increase this. If you have not injured yourself and there is no pain than I would not worry about it. Hope that helps

Reassurance : Please, do not roll them often. This is constitutional and can be in different joins. This isn't dangerous and many people live with this all life.
