anyone else have knees that make a cracking noise? It doesn't hurt or anything. Anytime I do squats or anything that requires to bend my knees.... CRACCCK!

Ever since I can remember, even when I was little, every time I bend my knees the crack...i can stand here and bend, bend, bend, and they would crack each time

Used to happen to me all the time..now not too often..i wonder what changed..

i started eating healthier for sure so it could possibly be the lack of some nutrients?

Usually, it's just excess air within the joint, and the cracking noise is the air escaping.
If you experience pain at any point, go to your GP.
Glucosamine helps lubricate joints if you get like an arthritic/ stiff feel to the joint at any point.

that's good to know! I hope it stops! I know I've never injured myself.

Another thing about crackling knees it might be cartilage damage or arthritis.

Check them out if they begin to swell.

Yep, but pretty much all my joints do this. Every time I move, something cracks. I'm an old lady at 23 :sad:

It happens to many of us!

In my gym group, you can hear it all around the room. Click click click. We like to joke that we're getting old. XD

always happens to me. Also happens in my shoulders first thing in the morning. I always attribute it to air.
