    I suspect you probably have Elhers Danlos Syndrome used to be called hypermobility. There are a lot of cross over symptoms.

    Hi erika13

    I have similar thing with my joints popping and 'readjusting' all the time (esp back and wrists) - at the moment I can hardly use my hands because at the back of each wrist (the part on the side of the little finger) where there is a 'disk' apparently, the wrist keeps moving out of place a little and I keep popping it back, so now after days of doing that it's quite loose and hurts a lot. Just wondering does anyone else have this? I was diagnosed with Fibro a few months ago but most of the pain before was back and legs.

    Thanks in advance for all replies.

    thanks for responding smile i have the exact same problems ! its very frustrating, it feels like every time i move something is cracking or popping out of place, mine started just after the pain as well, it is especially bad as soon as i wake up

    i was wondering do you experience muscle twitching as well as this, i was told it was common but im still not sure..
