Column: Do Your Knees Crackle and Pop?
Submitted by paula on Fri, 11/24/2023 - 2:40pm
It's common for the knees to get a little noisy on occasion, so hearing a "crack" during your hike or yoga class shouldn’t be worrisome. However, knees that pop, click, or crackle frequently may be headed toward arthritis.
What’s that Noise?
The popping sound you hear is caused by air bubbles in the synovial fluid – the liquid that surrounds and lubricates your joints – and by the snapping of tightly stretched ligaments as they slide off one bony surface onto another. This noise in the joints is called crepitus.
