My joints crack all the time, especially my knees and ankles. it's either due to excess joint damage or possibly (I read somewhere) nitrogen in the joints which 'pops' - that's what makes the noise when you crack you knuckles). DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

I don't think it's anything particularly worrisome or even, necessarily, to do with arthritis but why not mention it to your GP or rheumatologist next time you see one of them?If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

I've had popping knees my entire life. You can hear them across a room! Ankles have joined in the cracking and popping in the past few years. I think it's nothing to worry about. (I have PsA)0
