A member asked:

I was sitting down and was twisting my body from left to right bc i was dancing and i noticed a strange feeling and sensation. it felt/sounded like my bones were grinding against eachother. and if i opened my mouth, i could hear it more. any ideas?

What part of body?: It's hard to say w/o knowing what part of the body ur referring to. Is it in the jaw? neck? Given the activity, I doubt it's anything to worry about. U might want to try a bit of tincture of time. Good luck!
