Since it’s been two months, I thought I’d start with a bit of random weirdness.
It’s recently come to my attention that I pop in some strange places. Here are a few notable regions of body popping.
1. My sternum: when I arch my back or put my arms over my head first thing in the morning, my sternum cracks. It’s really weird, considering that’s not really a joint.
2. My sacroiliac joint: My right hip, right where it connects to my spine pops. It’s right at the top of my butt, and it only pops when I lay down on my back and lift my head off the floor with my hands. It was disconcerting at first, but now it feels really good w
hen I can do it. Started after I wrenched my back mountain biking. Good times.
3-4. The tops of both feet: Right where my big toe metatarsal meets up with my tarsal bone pops really loudly on both feet. Sometimes it happens when I walk, sometimes I have to pull up on the ball of my feet. It never happened until I started running, but now I can do it a few times a day.
5. My right elbow: When I straighten my right arm and twist it quickly, my elbow pops. Sometimes it feels good, sometimes it hurts like crap, but it started after I cracked it on a tabletop at Mt. Shasta.
Anybody else have any weird body things to remind you that you’re aging?
