short answer, popping and crackling is only a problem if it is painful! if it is, you should get it evaluated, otherwise, joints make noises sometimes :)

🙏 to @caseyjohnston.bsky.social for the sharp, much-needed clarity

happy to offer my expertise to the noble cause of shitting on this moron!!

lol even as i clicked the link i was thinking "hope they ran it by @caseyjohnston.bsky.social "
