parts of me that go 'click' (1 Viewer)

Charley Horse - new phrase of the millennium for me.

yeah, i only heard it a couple of years ago as well...

as ever, i take wikipedia's word on all of this

In recent decades the term has also been used to describe painful leg cramps, which may occur in the quadriceps muscles or the arch of the foot, but most often affect the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles.

do you get those middle-of-the-night arm/leg bloodflow incidents? where you sleep on your arm and then wake up and you can't feel it, and then you can slowly feel life returning to it? if i was writing a modernist novel, i reckon i could find a use for this as some kind of metaphor

Ah. The strangers hand. That's got more uses than you'd think.

my girlfriend woke up one night after sleeping on her arm and it had gone totally numb so when she got up to turn over, her arm suddenly came back to life and started to twitch and flail in the direction of her head and because she couldnt feel it she thought someone was attacking her.

fucking hilarious.

That's pretty much what the Exorcist is based on.

Lockjaw is a bacteria.

I'd imagine if a clicking jaw is bad it might be a sympton of lockjaw.

Or not, I really haven't a breeze about any of it.

dunno about this - i read about lockjaw after a recent post-cut-my-hand-open-tetanus shot - it is one fucking sad way to go. that's right, it's not just your jaw locking up, you die from it. die DEAD.

A clicking jaw can be a symptom of arthritis of the jaw if you also suffer from what feels like toothache. My sister has arthritis in her jaw, supposedly from grinding her teeth in her sleep all her life. It sounds like a motherfucker of an ailment, so be warned.

or pesky wisdom teeth. i hate those teeth.

do you ever wake up the opposite way around to how you went to sleep?

All the time

Action sleeping - it's the new snowboarding.

One of mine is playing up again. A few months ago I had trouble in the upper east side but at the moment it's in the lower west side. My dentist did instruct me to have all four wisdom teeth removed but I'm pretty she was sensationalising matters.

 

[muffin]

i grind my teeth and i push my tongue up against the roof of my mouth and against my teeth in my sleep and all of this has resulted in me havin a jaw locking thing..fuckin scared the shit out of me when it first happened..and it clicks like a mother fucker sometimes...its totally balls...

 

[oh shit]

sometimes when i'm younger i wake up wrong way wround

it used to happen me a more a few years ago. it always struck me as a very neat, precise form of craziness. any old idiot can wake up on the floor, or in the kitchen, or in china, but to turn yourself completely around while asleep and not fall out of bed is, well, pretty impressive.

 

[Hector Grey]

i'm amazed you can remember which way around you went to sleep. i sometimes try to remember. but then i forget. my brain goes click as it rolls around this big empty skull of mine. click click clickity click.

my word! when you run it must sound like someone having sex with a bag of marbles!

• elbows crack when stretching arms
• knuckles & finger joints
• shoulders
• ankles which go POP when walking down the stairs in the morning
• and the old reliable: me lower back. For best results, upon awakening, lie on left side, bend right leg & fold over left leg until spine cracks. Roll over & repeat with left leg

All occur in varying combinations of loud / pain, but my favourite by far is my neck. For instant stress relief, simply place palm of left hand on back of neck; cup chin in palm of right hand, then twist head from left to right for awesome crunchiness. I'm pretty sure if you googled that you'd get a website dedicated to disabling your opponent by breaking vertebrae, navy seal style.

Oh and sometimes i can crack my neck unassisted, like agent smith in the matrix. That's pretty cool, right?
