crunchy joints sound awful

Mine do it all the time! My trainer even comments on the sounds my knees and left shoulder make when I lift or do just about anything involving my legs. She has screws in her left knee so some days we compare sounds HAHA! :laugh:

It is a pretty eerie sound but as long as there is no pain then it should be okay (at least that's what my ortho has told me). Do you listen to music (headphones) while you workout? That helps me to not hear those sounds!

I just turn my music up and drown the sound out

MIne is my neck when doing "relaxing" neck rolls. Feel like the tin man needing some oil! But it doesn't make me sick. Just makes me laugh.

I have painless crunching and popping all the time. My knee has decided to join the joint symphony by making a creaking noise whenever I squat. My hip pops when I do situps, and I snap, crackle, pop when I walk lol

thanks fellow tin men/women for chiming in and making me feel better

yeah i just can't do the bike without wanting to yak. so it's the stair master, sometimes, which isn't too bad bc i can control range of motion & it's too slow to make that disgusting sound/feeling.

(music didn't help, could still feel it )

My knees are always crunching. Sometimes I think I have a bag of cereal in there. I do the same as others here - crank up the music and ignore it. But if you have pain along with the crunch, you might want to get it looked at.

I'm 23 and I get crunches too, but they go away after a few reps. Mostly in my shoulders when I do pressups with a bar. Sometimes in my knees.

IT'S WEIRD
