Joint Problems

 Emotions

    You harbor significant resentment and anger regarding what you perceive as your shortcomings in life. This could stem from difficulties in personal relationships or failed projects, with unresolved past incidents continuing to affect you. Current situations may be triggering these old issues, leaving you feeling stuck and resistant to change or resolution. As a result, you may feel trapped and frustrated.

    You often feel compelled to handle things as they arise, rather than achieving what you truly desire. This leads to resentment, as you feel unable to attain what you want.

    The family may have imposed a significant amount of drama and responsibility on you, limiting your freedom of choice. This led to conflicts because you felt pushed around or attacked, either verbally or physically, by loved ones.

    You carry a lot of suppressed anger towards influential people. To protect yourself, you tend to avoid conflict, which has led to a defensive wall around you. This wall may be an unconscious way of keeping yourself safe from those who might try to overpower you.

    The absence of love in your life has caused you to feel unworthy of love. You might think, "If my parents didn't love me, then who will?" This can lead to a mindset of settling for whatever you can get.

    You may feel like a victim of your circumstances, powerless to change your situation. You might attract dominant, headstrong people who challenge your self-worth and boundaries. You often feel out of control and unable to get the love or respect you desire from your partner, family, or friends.

    You may feel unheard and frequently ignored by influential people. Your childhood may have been filled with hostility, blame, neglect, and a lack of trust, leaving you with a hard exterior that you use as a buffer between yourself and the world.

    You might use anger as a driving force in your life, but underneath, you feel very exposed and vulnerable. You find comfort in your safe zone and resist anything that might disrupt it. Joint pain could be a secondary issue, possibly linked to fighting off an infection related to the joint problems.

Cracking Joints

    This issue is often linked to unresolved resentment towards a mother or maternal figure. You may have felt unsupported by a female figure who judged you harshly, even if no one else did. Your efforts in life might have been focused on authority figures in a way that made you feel inadequate, as if you could never do anything right.
    A deeper cause of this condition could stem from the stress experienced during fetal development. Your mother might have experienced significant stress, anxiety, or feelings of unsafety during pregnancy, prompting the question: "Did your mother feel safe with her partner while she was pregnant with you?"

Shoulder Joint

    You may struggle to balance your need for personal time with your current responsibilities. Your boundaries might be weakening because you’re not expressing your needs, and you’ve become accustomed to serving others without receiving anything in return.

Hip Joint

    You walk with anger because you feel uncertain about how to reclaim your power. You may feel powerless in your life and within your family role. It may seem like no one takes you seriously, leading you to use anger to compensate for the times you felt ignored or undervalued during childhood.
You might feel pushed around and bullied by those in authority. You may believe that you lack the power or self-worth to be heard, respected, and listened to. This could be influenced by the conflict between your mother and father's marital issues.

Wrist Joint

    You may be experiencing a conflict between what your parents or authority figures expect of you and what you truly desire. This could be related to your goals, ambitions, and the need to feel in control of a project or aspect of your life. You may feel as though you always require permission or validation before embarking on something new.

Finger Joint

    You might feel unworthy of receiving or holding onto your accomplishments. Perhaps you were taught that success only comes through hard work, leading you to undervalue any achievements that seem to come easily. It may feel like you're under constant scrutiny, where any mistake could lead to humiliation. This can cause feelings of being misunderstood and angry, especially when it feels like you cannot control others' opinions of you. This may also be tied to the burden of keeping secrets that are starting to weigh heavily on you.

Voluntarily Cracking Joints/Fingers

    There might be unresolved or unexpressed opinions and emotions toward a significant person in your life. Perhaps you associate speaking your truth with the fear of punishment or rejection. This could also be related to family conflicts that directly impact you and hinder your personal progress. Unfortunately, you may feel powerless to change the situation. You may wish to release the emotional tension but fear doing so, as you believe no one will support you.
Resolving past trauma related to expressing your truth and any unresolved issues your mother might have experienced during her pregnancy is crucial. Did an influential figure frequently challenge your mother during her pregnancy? You might feel powerless in the face of confrontation, possibly inheriting your mother's submissiveness or aggressiveness. Two key points to note: the fear of confrontation and the fear of speaking your truth. There is a difference between speaking your truth from a place of security and speaking it with anger to compensate for the fear. This could be linked to patterns established during fetal development.

Ankle Joint

    There is likely a conflict between you and your mother. You may feel controlled by her judgments and opinions about your personal decisions and goals, leading to a sense of being unable to stray far from family values. Rejection and abandonment might have been used as tools of punishment if you did not conform to the expectations of authority figures like parents, teachers, or mentors.

Toe Joints

    Your life direction might feel dominated by a partner, parent, or authority figure, making it difficult to change your goals or path. Past mistakes were likely met with little tolerance, leaving little room for error now. You may want to distance yourself from someone or certain circumstances out of fear of the consequences. Perhaps you’ve been too afraid to leave a partner or family situation. This might also relate to a parent or ancestor who was too fearful to leave their own situation. Abuse may have been used as a tool to control them, affecting their future as well.

Key Points

• When did the joint issues begin? Reflect on your actions and feelings prior to the onset of the problem. Were there any relationship issues, emotions, or unresolved traumas that you were holding onto, feeling angry about, or unable to let go of? Consider exploring these possibilities further.
• Investigate any resentment you may be holding onto. Who are you resenting, and why? How do these feelings affect you? These may be related to unresolved issues from your past that are still impacting your life.
• Consider why you might feel guilty. Who has challenged your sense of worthiness?
• Have you been made to feel guilty for living your life in a way that goes against family values? If so, how does this affect you? Reflect on this and explore it further.
• Are you avoiding expressing your opinions or concerns to certain influential people? How does this hesitation make you feel?
• Do you feel stuck in a situation where you are unsure or afraid to take the necessary steps? If this is the case, what are you scared of? Explore these feelings further.
• Reflect on whether you feel like a victim, experience self-rejection, or feel disgusted with yourself. Who made you feel this way, and how did it affect you?
• Examine how being rigid and inflexible in your life, movements, or decisions impacts your ability to feel safe. Explore this further.
• Consider whether you’ve experienced trauma related to feeling oppressed by authority figures or partners. How did that affect you? If this doesn’t apply directly to you, consider exploring any related trauma in your parents or ancestors.
• Are you holding back your anger as much as possible? You may have been shamed or made to feel guilty for expressing your emotions. Influential people’s reactions might have caused you to feel like a bad person for feeling negative emotions. Delve into these feelings.
• What causes you anxiety? You may be stuck in survival mode, taking everything too seriously and feeling the weight of life intensely.
• Who do you hold responsible for your difficulties? Explore this further.
• Always consider exploring birth-related trauma and refer to the Birth section.
• Examine your time in the womb. Did your mother’s immune system fight off an infection that may have affected you before birth? Consider exploring this possibility.
• Perhaps you didn’t have enough space to move around freely in the womb, leading to being in uncomfortable positions for long periods. This may have caused stress in your body that persists into adulthood. If you didn’t have enough space, how did that make you feel? The feelings you had then may relate to the issues you face now. It’s essential to connect your current pain or problem areas with how you felt when it first started. The answers you seek should go beyond superficial explanations.
