Cracking joints - silly thought


Posted: Jan 2, 2010

I've had no work so far this morning, so I'm bugging you guys.  Smile

You know when a doctor dictates "the patient has crepitus" in such and such joint?

Pretty much all my joints have crepitus and I've had it almost all my life.  How will they know if it's an abnormal finding or not?  LOL.  Smile

As far as I know, crepitus in joints or knuckles is only...sm - crep

diagnosed as being "abnormal" if it is accompanied by pain.

Stiff Joints. Sometimes Painful, Sometimes Not.Apr 15, 2012
I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem.  Sometimes my finger joints, knees, wrists, and ankles get so stiff that I cannot move them unless I pop them.  Sometimes they hurt extremely bad until I pop them, sometimes no pain, and sometimes they just won't pop.  This is something that I have been dealing with for as long as I can remember, so it isn't something that has been caused by the sitting from doing MT or anything like that.  I have had one doctor ...

Prolozone Therapy For JointsJan 16, 2016
Has anyone had Prolozone therapy for joint pain/arthritis/other? Do you know of anyone who has? Any info would be helpful. I have searched and searched and find a lot of positive reviews but no negatives and find this kind of interesting and hopeful. I'm considering this treatment in lieu of surgery and would appreciate any info you might have so I can make a more educated decision. Thanks so much. ...

Silly (or Not So Silly) Dream...Have One?Oct 19, 2010
Do you have a silly dream of doing something totally different with your career or life? Lately, my husband and I have somewhat seriously been talking about opening a mexican food burrito/taco shop.  We have great recipes that are relatively simple and inexpensive, and would love to just open up a very small shop that handles only takeout orders for a few types of burritos and/or tacos, rice and beans.  Something small with the BEST food around, even though not fancy. What are YOUR d ...

Silly Girl - Kid Friendly Jan 26, 2011
Silly Girl - I was wondering if you tried your crockpot yet.  What did you make?  Did it save some time for you and your son?  I've never done it myself, but I know people who actually put the crockpot together the night before and stick in the frig until the morning when they go to work so they can cut some time in the morning.  I've even heard of people making breakfast (like oatmeal) by setting it up at night and then have breakfast ready in the morning.  ...

Okay, this is going to sound REALLY stupid and childish and I hope after a long week you  get a laugh from this.  I can't tell my dear sweet hubbie because he meant good, but I have to tell someone.  He did the grocery shopping today.  He comes home and I see a container of mint ice cream (I gag thinking of it, but its his favorite), so I'm so excited he bought ice cream.  Been in the mood for a bowl of ice cream.  I keep emptying the bags putting food awa ...

RE: SILLY GIRL/CHEATING HUSBAND Mar 01, 2011
I was reading the thread below by "Silly girl" who has all but confronted her cheating husband.  Silly Girl:  You have amassed a nice bunch of evidence to prove to yourself and show your dog-husband that you know he's cheating.  Why don't you gather it all together and leave it on the doorstep for him to find with a note telling him to "GO TO HER".  my thinking behind this is that generally people cheat because they can, because they are getting away with it and p ...

Silly Little Things That Make You HappySep 07, 2010
Sometimes the silliest, trivial little things make me smile. This morning, it's knowing that my daughter (just turned 21 on Saturday) is safe and secure at the camp at which she is working through the fall, enjoying her first job and finding her way in the world.  It's also looking over at my handsome hubby, sound asleep on the couch, remote in hand, looking completely at peace with our 2 little dogs next to him, one by his feet and the other by his side.  For some reason, ...

Silly Old Lady Hobby QuestionJun 30, 2013
Some time ago I asked about making jewelry and am going to try to do learn to do that when our community ed classes start up again in the fall. In the meantime, I have a funny question. (Maybe I am going into second childhood.) Do any of you draw or paint? I love to sketch and I also like the Dover coloring books, which are quite detailed and good for adults. Does anyone else on here like to draw/color? ...

"Sequester Of Fools: There’s A Silly Debate Under Way About Who Bears ResponsibilityFeb 22, 2013
(Paul Krugman, winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, from the NY Times) was a really bad idea. Here’s how it happened: Republicans engaged in unprecedented hostage-taking, threatening to push America into default by refusing to raise the debt ceiling unless President Obama agreed to a grand bargain on their terms. Mr. Obama, alas, didn’t stand firm; instead, he tried to buy time. And, somehow, both sides decided that the way to buy time was to create a fiscal doomsday machine tha ...

So Here's A Thought: What If We Don't Like ANYDec 29, 2011
I mean - NONE of them?   You want to vote out whoever's currently in office or in Congress, etc., but what good is it when they just pick MORE ignoramuses to take their place?  That's what I see happening now.  They're ALL part of the greater problem.  They're ALL self-serving, greedy do-nothings.  So imagine if the entire country held a "voting strike".  (Yes, I know that could never happen... there will always be those who think the ...

from this instead of pointing fingers and promoting hate speech and I mean everyone, Sarah Palin, the arizona tea party, the democrats who targeted people and districts on their maps, and all the irresponsible hate speech on this board today.  It is ALL wrong, all repugnant, and it should all stop.  However, we MUST recognize that a sick mind did the shooting and that shooter is responsible for his actions.  Obviously this nutjob was on Pima County and even Homeland Security rada ...

When Donald J. Trump is elected, Mexico will pay for the wall.  We have what they need and it is called jobs/economics.  There are many ways that monies do not have to go back to Mexico and they know it why else would they be so worried about who gets elected President and invite the candidates to Mexico other than to court them and as far as Donald Trump not discussing the wall with Mexican president, he shouldn't have to at this point.  Why put all your cards on the ta ...

If you went to your boss and told your boss that you had a great idea that would help the company but didn't have any details to give or numbers to share, what would your boss say?  More than likely your boss would either tell you to stick it (depending on how nice your boss is) or he/she would tell you to come back when you have everything written out in detail with facts and numbers to support your idea. This is just something I thought about after reviewing our president's ...

With regards to the BLM movement, where is the responsibility fall on the mothers and fathers teaching their children to respect authority.  I mean if the police tell you to get down, you get down.  If they tell you to keep your hands on the steering wheel you do so.  It is the responsibility of mothers and fathers to teach the youth, I don't care what color you are, to obey the law.   This is just the way it is.  Alot of times, people jump the gun before all t ...

As a white American woman, I took great offense last night at Michelle Obama's speech.  As it may have sounded like what some would like to hear, her making the statement that the White House was "built by slaves" is totally false.  It was built by many nationalities, Scottish, Italians, etc., and yes also by black people.   I am so tired of the political correctness when it comes to minorities.  Eight years ago, I was making more financially and able to live w ...

I think how the media is constantly bashing Melania Trumps speech is appalling.  Others have done this and nothing ever said and if it was it was not with all the hype that this is.  Media needs to move on.  This is a very accomplished person and I thought she did a wonderful job and by the way she speaks 5 languages, something that Michelle Obama cannot do and has an elegance that Michelle Obama does not.  She would represent America well so give her some credit.  ...
