Popping Bones

[goldenlove]

Moving requires a lot of time on your feet packing and unpacking (and moving stuff if you didn't hire movers). It's physically taxing. I've gotten plantar faciitis in two of my previous moves from standing and packing/unpacking boxes. Plus my gym time was sorely lacking so I lost some of my physical fitness since those moves took up to two months each (packing up before putting them on the market and then packing up to move and then unpacking).

Absolutely. I am in my 40s and in my recent moves, I have noticed all sorts of joint issues- usually in the hips/knees- related to the move. My feet are already terrible, so there isn’t really much that can happen there. It’s likely due to a combination extra stress from lifting/carrying (and possibly going up and down a lot of stairs if you have that), along with possible loss of normal routine of exercise.

your joints are living tissue and their movement often creates a habitual wear pattern, when you change that the shelf created causes the joint to pop when you extend it further than it is accustomed.
When I first started working on boats, often my job included boats on trailers I had to climb up into. Every time I reached up on the gunwale my shoulders would pop. In about a year or two it disappeared because the bone/joints were now being more thoroughly used the shelf worn down.
Since I had retired from working n an assembly line I noticed that my thumbs pop if I try to touch their palms this is actually a separation like knuckle popping, but due to the meat in my hands thickening. like being muscle bound.
Your body is reacting to a change in motion, and if you maintain the change in motion the popping may go away eventually.

Yeah....none of that is even remotely correct....

Most joint popping is from cavitation...

"When you crack your knuckles, the sound is coming from the compression of nitrogen bubbles that naturally occur in the spaces of the joints, Dr. Stearns says.

The cracking is the sound of gas being released from the joint, an action called cavitation, Dr. Stearns says. The sound is not a cause for concern."
