symptoms chronic joint cracking all over

[Sebastiandelacroix]

HI there
For the past year and a half I have felt my joint areas degenerating - there is a lot of cracking in all my joints at all time at this stage. All day every day and night. It started in my shoulders and has moved all over my body. I also had testicular cancer, and one treatment of chemo and syphillis last year. Rheuamtology tests have comeup negative and doctors are at a loss for what is going on. Am fully recovered at this time from both.  Also beginning to feel numbness and tingling in my hands and fingers.  Also it is not just cracking, there is strange movement and sometimes I have mild involuntary twitching though it is becoming more frequent.
It is quite extreme and at the moment a bit scarey.
Does this sound like anything to anyone?
I am 32

I have something similar begin to happen to me, i first thought i had bad posture and it lead me to a lot of joint damage but i think i now have something more serious and my joints are weaker and cracking all the time. I'm 28 so this doesn't make sense... I did a test for c reactive protein (a marker of Inflammation in blood) and it should elecated at 4-5 when my friends all tested under 1 (which means no major source Of Inflammation)

For now i think it can only be nutrition (but i have a mostly clean diet, unless I'm missing one key nutrient) or maybe a root canal i did a few years ago that supposedly could have bacteria attacking the rest of the body...  I'm thinking this because i can't explain why else my C reactive protein would be constantly elevated every weekly test i do.

Have any of you with these symptoms also had a root canal in your teeth done?

Yes! omg I had a root canal done twice on one of my front teeth. The first time they totally messed it up and drilled into my gums. The second one they told me how they meseed it up and didn't care and than attempted to fix it... but It still hurts till this day. And I have had these symptoms the past year getting worse. I feel like I'm dying some times.

Im surprised that nobody has mention hormones as a culprit for joint, muscle, fatigue and a multitude of other dipilatiting symptoms. I am a female age 45 and had-have a multitude of the symptoms mentioned here...I laid in bed for a year and the Drs. are useless!!  I am posting this so I can help somebody else. Everyone just thinks hot flashes but hormones can affect your entire life physically and mentaly. The op had testicular cancer and that controls a lot of the hormones. I dontknow that much about it-but I think that extreme stress and fatigue at some point in someone's life attributes to the functioning of your hormones. I do believe that I suffer in periomenopause because I had physically taxed my body so bad that the adreanals are affected and adreanal-fatigue is somehow related to this. I have now been on bioidentical hormones for about 2 months and the differense is amazing!!  When I have to up the progesterone per the protocol I'm on right now...my symptoms come right back:(. I'm not sure about all the hormones that affect men but there is a hormone called DHEA..that will affect joints and muscles and energy. I had my hormones tested and I think they all came back in the normal range but they still gave me the option of going on replacement hormone therapy because of my symptoms. My symptoms started as sinus headaches right between my eyes and a burning pain that turned to nausea and nervous stomach by the afternoon and I couldnt function for the rest of the day...that lasted for months. My symptoms then progressed into...extreme fatigue, joint pain and pressure and popping and clicking in the joints-almost all joints were affected. Popping and cracking in the joints almost to the point of having ..OCD with popping my joints. My right knee was terribly affected and I had the urge to snap it continuously and the pressure would build right back up and I couldnt get any relief. It was so painful every second of the day!!   I also had muscle burning and fatigue...I could barely extend my arms out to make a pot of coffee. I had back pain and stiffness-I couldnt even stand up straight and would be hunched over like an old lady and couldnt even walk across the room., I have bilateral numbness and tingling in my lower and also strange electrical pains, pulses and body twitches. Then some days I was fine and could walk perfectly but it was getting were the good days were far and few in between. Mentally-I was depressed, had extreme rage, I wanted to commit myself-Drs were a joke and I felt helpless and alone and at  my wits end and I wanted to be alone. I isolated myself. These are all because of hormones and never once have I had a hot flash!!  Even though you might not be periomenopause age-late 30s on up-maybe something is going on that could be affecting your hormones. I just hopes this helps somebody!!

I agree with you on the homones...I've had the same symtoms as you, I thought I was going crazy at first. My manapause symptoms have been a nightmare. My bones, joints and whatever can pop just pops throuout the day but espeacially in when I'm still for a whike like sitting or in bed or in the morning when I get up or even when I toss around in my sleep. My elbows, knees, arms, shoulders, neck, etc. It's embarrasing to say the least.

Hi. I have all the same symptoms you folks mentioned above. Stiffness, cracking, pain, low energy. All the trips to the doctors (including full examination in the NYU Hospital For Joint Diseases in Manhattan) did not return any results. I was told that all of my tests and blood work was totally fine, while I did continue to have pain. I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

But here is a remedy to all of you suffering which helped me tremendously. I still get episodes throughout the year in between seasons, but nothing like it was before!
While traveling in Israel I went into the small corner health drug store and described my symptoms to sales guy. He told me that I was calcium deficient and gave me the calcium formula which you folks can buy or preorder in any Vitamin Shoppe, which surprisingly sold everywhere in Israel. IT’S CALCIUM MAGNESIUM PLUS BORON. He said to take it 3 times a day, 500 mg(one tablet), before food. Guess what folks- THE PAIN WHICH I HAD FOR YEARS WAS GONE IN 2 DAYS! Now I am taking 1000 mg tablets, 2  day as a prevention and drinking a lot of milk (which by the way source of Calcium also). It works like a charm. The only minor drawback that boron makes a bit sleepy, so taking it before going to sleep it works as a sedative and blood pressure reducer. I’ve tried most other formulas of calcium after and they did not work for me.
P.S. Chinese herbalists told me that this condition is some form of migraines. One of them gave me a remedy once before and taking it removed cracking for like three weeks completely… I unfortunately misplaced his info. Just letting you know it might work also.
Please let me know your reports and reviews. You can reach me at:  ice_skytemple***@****
The very best of lucks to you. Speedy relieve!

I feel sick and now feel my joints cracking. I was very healthy. Only thing I found was my a and a was off. Someone told me sounds like Bartinella but relay tests come up neg. I found a guy in NC who grows your blood I took a blood test every two days the times. All three dressed were sent to him to grow. The norm is 65 or less mine read 269 wow. I am now on two antibiotics and am getting better.  I also found a specialist in FL who treats this. He says you should also test for barbisiosis and if you have that too you more than likely have Lyme deserve which most tests won't detect either there is only one place I no of in California but I hear they only accept medicaid lol I have insurance.  Hope this helps someone.

Beware Bacteriacide Antibiotics Like Cipro, Augmentin, I went from not having cracks to having all over body in 24 hours on the seventh day of treatment for an infection we didnt even have proof I had(did not do urine test). Please beware certain people with certain genetics will have their joints destroyed for life in a matter of days.
