Have you tried exercising? Like, putting on some muscle? I know some of my buddies have had bum shoulders all their lives and those are starting to mend a bit due to some really basic weight lifting.

Muscle has nothing to do with it.

I've had a similar thing for as long as I can remember. I just accept that my joints crack. It's nothing to be worried about. It's just bubbles in your joint fluid popping due to decreased pressure. The gases are then reabsorbed into the joint fluid.

Right, I forgot. Muscle doesn't support joints and ligaments. How silly of me.

Truth, but Blues IS right about the popping.
As for the stiff shoulder... that's where you come in, with the muscle building. Probably.

I suppose stiffness is the wrong word for it. It's not as if I'm walking and all, "Ohhh mah achin' lumbago!", but rather if I'm sitting in the same position for too long, then stretch, my joints will pop/crack.

I'm pretty sure it's nothing to worry about, but I was just wondering if there's anything that can make the cracking go away.

If there is none, I shall take up the suggestion of freaking people out with it.

Dice up like 4-5lbs of green olives and take daily baths in them. Replace every week or two as needed to avoid excess rot.

Not sitting for long periods of time? >_> Seriously, though, it's nothing to worry about. It's good for grossing people out, though.
