User avatar Hello,
Popping joints are not alarming in terms of pathology however with inflexibility and pain associated with popping, the specific joints should be evaluated for ligament or cartilage damage.

The remedy (granted no structural damage) will focus on prolonged stretching and strengthening program which should continue throughout your adult years.

Take care and let us know how it goes.
