Bone Matters
I am suffering from the "loose spine" syndrome from a bad night's sleep about 2 years ago. The one where the person suffering from it has to constantly turn around while on a chair, grab the back of the chair with both hands and pull.
Most of the time, the inflicted can hear little "cracking" sounds emitted by the spine that managed to transmit through the various tissues and membranes into the ears. Along with these sounds come slight discomfort/comfort that feels about the same as the sensation felt when one pulls his finger [rather hard] and give it a little twist to one side.
A medical form of this known as spinal manipulation exist, but I am not sure if what many are doing is exactly this.
Then came the shoulder.
Waking up on 12/08/05 resulted in a sensation in the right shoulder blade that felt similar to what was felt 2 years ago on that faithful day. To relieve that discomfort before going to school, I tried to stretch it out in the hope that the demonic resident causing havoc inside would be expelled.
All that to no avail.
With that, I tried to enjoy myself the following day at Marina Bay with the choir. The pain aggravated during those rides, but the eternal laughter really seems to have dumped enough endorphins into my bloodstream to keep it in check.
I still feel that discomfort lying deep beneath the skin and flesh, and maybe just right beside the bone.
Somehow, my wrists, fingers, ankles and knees have also caught up with this trend of cracking up everytime they feel like it. Wrists and ankles can do it anytime. Fingers are totally capable of producing altogether 28 "pops" consecutively. The knees are not so good at it yet. Maybe after sitting down for awhile or after placing my weight on 1 leg for about 30 seconds, but the knees are capable of producing the loudest, mother-of-all "pop". When I wake up in the morning and give a half squat, the mother of all "pop" sounds would emerge from the knees like children let out of the house.
Starngely though, I am not one that is capable of creating excrutiating neck cracks. However hard I twist my head, I am just not able to create any sound. Not that another cracking joint would help in any way though. A few of my friends are able to spin their heads so hard, producing such a loud "ccrraackk" that together with the visual part of this stunt would many a time lead people to think that they are going to self-behead just like that.
Ouch.
Maybe time for a visit to a chiropractor.
*crack*Later!
