What exactly does a popping joint mean?
Can someone explain this to me? I dont know what literally happens when your shoulder, knee, back etcpop. Are the bones popping or is it the joint? Whats goin on inside your body when you "pop?" Also, is it bad if you pop?

What do you mean with popping? Sound or when you think it is dislocated?

I have something like that, when I abduct my left arm, I feel a weird popping feeling, you can feel the pop if you put your hand on my shoulder. My right arm does the same, but the pop is not nearly as great, it's only a little pop, and it doesn't happen all the time. The left arm pops everytime though. It doesn't hurt if I do it a few times, but if I were to do it about 6 or 7 times it will start to hurt.

The 'popping' is air leaving the joint(so I was told), and isnt detrimental in any way.

It's actually nitrogen, but that happens when you crack your neck or crack your back. I don't know if it has something to do with the popping of the shoulder. I can't see there being that much nitrogen in a body part. I actually had a chiropractor come into my kinesiology class today as a guest speaker and he talked about how it was nitrogen.

Well, guess what? Nitrogen makes up 78% of the atmosphere.. so its air.

Pure nitrogen as opposed to air.

The word nitrogen appeared more times in the article than air, which did not appear at all.

Dude!!! Look at the link you posted.. it says "Air, a mixture of gasses".
Now look at the scientific article I posted, it says "Escaping gases: Scientists explain that synovial fluid present in your joints acts as a lubricant. The fluid contains the gases oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide."

It is thought to be nitrogen that is in the joint space...when you traction a joint...like when you pull your finger to crack your knuckle, the negative pressure you casue in the closed system allows the nitrogen to come out of solution and go back in quickly....this is one "theory" behind the popping noise.
the other thing, more common in shoulders and ankles, is tendons slipping over certain areas on the bone during movements. This also makes a popping sound and is more likely what is going on in the shoulder.
there are also things known as "joint mice" which are basically small bony debris in the joint space from degenerative changes that may crackle when moved....often seen in knees. It is a crackle more than a pop though.....rice krispys baby...snap crackle pop.
anyway...it usually isnt anything to worry about as long as there is no pain or restriction of movement...so pop away!My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.
When one door closes another door opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the ones which open for us.
