So what's the deal with them? What do they mean? I occasionally get pops that sound like knuckles cracking in my shoulders, knees, wrists, arms, legs, and just about everywhere else where there are bones. Are they normal? Should I be worrying if I get them in my shoulder?
I saw from the famous "you know you're a swimmer" thread that "you know you're a swimmer when one or both of your shoulders click when you put on a jacket". As you swim more, do your shoulders pop more?

My shoulders pop sometimes when putting on a jacket or a shirt. Sometimes they pop for no apparent reason actually. There is no pain associated with the popping so I was told by a few MD's to ignore it unless there is pain or a sharp increase in the frequency of the pops.
