I've just reached a normal weight (woot woot) and I'm enjoying the ability of my body to keep warm and keep me awake, alert and energized. But what hasn't changed is my creaky bones. THey've only gotten worse. Is this unrelated to the ED and I just assumed that my body falling apart was all due to it, or is it just some random genetic defect I have? My hip bone pops, cracks a lot, as well as my shoulder joint, elbow, wrists, thumbs, they all click, my neck and back creak, my knees pop SO loud whenever I bend them to sit on the ground or get in to bed. And I can't pop, lock and drop it while dancing, because they hurt like hell and collapse (it's not a lack of muscle; I run). Anyone relate?

I've noticed that I'm a bit creaky too, but not to the point where everyone will notice....it's mainly when I squat or get up or move my arm in a certain way. it probably has to do with the affects of ED, but I think a doctor could be of better help.

My joints are really creaky too... I feel like an old lady.

Congratulations and well done for regaining and retaining your weight. Can you get a bone scan done to check for weakness etc?

Thanks for the responses. I think I'm going to try and convince my mom to get me in to see a chiropractor and then maybe get a scan after hearing what he says. She doesn't know about my ED,*I hope*, so I can't exactly straight out ask her, "Can I go get a bone scan to see how much damage I've caused them and what the implications are?" :P

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
