Does this happen to you? I notice when I move my shoulder,wrist neck. that is the sensations I feel. doesn't really hurt just feels weird. just want to know if anyone has experienced this. or if I just got old bones!!Oh I get loud poping snapping sounds coming from my knees and shoulder all the time.  Sometimes they do hurt when they do it.  Most the time it just a noise.  LOL loud enough to get someone's attention at times.the joints are a regular orchestra....heavy on the percussion!!! [QUOTE=SnowOwl]I posted something very like this once, long ago.  A reply I got was that as inflammation recedes the joints get noisier.  I have more inflammation creeping back in despite the MTX etc., and my noisy joints aren't competing so much with my breakfast cereal anymore, so that makes sense to me.  And too, as joints age they naturally begin to make more noise.  My left ankle is the worst, dh can actually hear it as I walk down stairs, snappin' away.  It's catchy.  I can hum along with it.

It's exactly the opposite for me.  I can always tell when I'm going to flare because my shoulders and wrists will start making a snapping sound when I move them.  Once the flare is over, the snapping stops.

Yep... it comes and goes.  It seems to "travel"  - neck, lower back, hands/fingers, ankles/feet.  Especially when I first wake up, or get up after sitting at my desk for a while.
