Snap, Crackle, and Pop... My Joints

Hey Zebras and my wonderful family and friends!
I posted this picture on my Facebook after it made me laugh pretty hard. In case anyone doesn't get it, I wanted to explain a little. Part of this painful syndrome is dislocations and subluxations. To dislocate something, it has to completely be popped out of place. I have had my left knee completely dislocate twice in my life and have had my elbow and shoulder dislocate. A subluxation is when something gives out or feels like it's going to dislocate, but doesn't. Both are really scary. I have had subluxations numerous times in my life. It's pretty frequent and very frustrating.
Another thing quite common is joints popping and cracking. Alot of times, for me, if I don't crack or pop a joint, I continue to have pain and sometimes it increases. Popping and cracking joints helps with pain. It also helps because joints slip out of place so much.
