I get aches and pains every day especially in the morning. I have to crack my neck, wrists, back and thighs or else they get very sore. I'm only 24, what could be wrong with me?

See your GP. In the meantime take 'Seven Seas' or 'Cod Liver Oil' capsules. They're safe to take and help your joints.

The pains you're talking about can be caused by muscular tension. If you've worked out a lot, without trying to improve your mobility and versatility, then the muscles you've built up can apply too much pressure to the joints they move, leading to 'distressed sleeping positions' which would produce the effects you describe.
'Cracking bones' usually describes a sudden rearrangement of the ligaments which hold a joint together. They get disarranged because the surrounding muscles are not relaxed enough.
If you try some yoga or Alexander technique (with a properly trained instructor), you might find that you can stretch out more when you sleep, and wake yourself up a bit more gently.
'Hypermobility syndrome' (being 'double-jointed') can also cause this kind of pain, because the ligaments are unusually rubbery so the joints can be distorted easily. Sufferers tend to be skinny and fairly weak (because any muscle growth can cause more pain), so I don't think you'd call yourself 'strongboy' if you have this.
If you do, then Pilates or rock-climbing would be good for the condition, because they train you to balance out the actions of opposing muscles in a way that will support and decompress your joints.

You have a genetic disorder, so young and so much pain. Could be rumertoid arthritis...there are things doctors can do. Never touch Glusomine or whatever it is called, it will make it worse, fish, cod liver oil, a mother who did not work, and cooked from scratch....sorry you are just a product of a family who go out for money, and feed you **** , but delishously flavour enhanced food. I suspect. you are too young to feel that old.

Although you sound a bit young for this to happen , you might want to try Glucosamine Sulphate as this is superb for aches and pains in your joints , thoroughly recommended .

Well cracking your bones doesn't help to be frank - can give you arthritus, even in someone of your age but if you ask your GP/Doctor they might refer you to an osteotherapist and be able to diagnose your problem. Good luck and hope it helps.

Could be early arthritis or rheumatism, or it could be symptoms of some allergy, see your doctor. Cod liver oil and Glucosamine Sulphate should help(health food shop).
