Rei,
Joints creaking and cracking is completely normal...it is thought to be the synovial fluid, that serves as a lubicant for joint movement. The fluid is comprised of gases (O2, nitrogen and carbon dioxide) and the release of gasses happens when the joint capsule is stretched, creating the sounds.
I also have random muscle jerks, twitches...and I chalk that up to muscle tension. Try doing PMR exercises. You can find instructions in our Resources in the Stress Relieving Exercises link.;)
Good to hear from you...hope all is well in general...and don't be a stanger!
S.C.
