Could Cracking And Popping Ankles, Chest And Back Be Due To Diagnosed Fibromyalgia?
After three years of going to doctors who couldn t decide if I have Lyme Disease or Psoriatic Arthritis, today I saw a doctor who diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia. Is it normal for people with Fibromyalgia to crack and pop? My ankles, chest and back are the worst but it can happen in other areas as well

Fibromyalgia is more of a mental issue then a physical. So cracking and popping does not matter much. It is a diagnosis of exclusion, i mean when for a chronic pain no disease is diagnosed then this is the last thing left.
