Re: knees making weird crackling sounds

I'm 5"3 and I, too, had the same problem in my left knee and it began when I lost oodles of weight a few years ago. For a couple of months now, I've been taking Omega 3-6-9 caps and, although this wasn't the issue I intended to target, I've been pleasantly surprised that my crackling sound has diminished completely. So you may wanna try those caps too.

i kid you not!!!

one of my dumbest dude started taking omega 3, and he started beating me in chess.

Every time I lost a game to him, moron pointed at omega3 pack :hmmm:

Re: knees making weird crackling sounds

I am surprised that nobody mention the real cause. One thing that can be the diagnoses is the RHEUmatoid Arthritis. People who has it usually feel no pain till it damage the cartilage(the soft tissue with knee/bones). Its a autoimmune disease in this matter your own immune system attack your bone like its a virus or other harmful invader. Basically immune system becomes insane. There is no cure for it and may be natural remedies would help. If this disease runs in your family most likely you r going to suffer from it cuz it runs in your genes. To diagnose this you have to do a blood test RA FACTOR. It will exactly rule out if you do have it.

Sometimes your knees also makes this sound if you have calcium deficiency or weak bones,Also some excercise may be one of the cause as well. But as i am a doctor and i have seen patient who comes to my clinic and make fun of these crackling sound and they get shocked when i tell them that they have RA. So please do a blood test. And if you already suffering from pain, swelling and irritation so you might also need to do some other test as well. Like ANA antibody,ESR.

Vitamins may help but cant cure the disease and you may wanna take vitamins that r specifically made for bone strength, ask your doctor or local pharmacist about them> As every country has different brand name.

P.S: Dont take this as a diagnostic either. As i said earlier do a blood test to conform it. My intention are to make you aware of the potential cause not to diagnose your problem.
Good luck!

Re: knees making weird crackling sounds

wow thank u sanam, after reading ur post I think I'm gonna go get it checked out. coz its only recently I've started to get the pain and I dont want it to get worse

27

Okay, what is wrong with her exfoliating her skin at the same time?

If you're having pain...then go to a doc immediately. It could be anything from what **Sanam **is saying to a pulled nerve. Ive pulled nerves several times during weight training classes...its PAINFULLLLLL!!!

28

I am glad that u gonna check it out.

Re: knees making weird crackling sounds

don't scare the hell out of girl.

She is too young to have Arthritis.

Let her go to gym she is going to be fine. Let doctors do some real work.

Re: knees making weird crackling sounds

hmm i got this problem too ....but it just happens sometimes not everytime i bend down or do sajda

31

I dont see any scaryness in it. This is to be more cautious. And having enough information is to have a healthy life, BTW RA doesnt have any age limit, even new born have RA antibodies. Its runs in genes. If you go and search before u type anything is much accurate to do. And read my post carefully you will see clearly there that I mention : I am not R/O any problem here. I hope that none of the above have RA. And if you still feel like to be scared from this why dont you jus ignore the symtoms and dont bother to ask about it.

Re: knees making weird crackling sounds

I have had this problem forever. I don't think about it or even care. I've had it since teenage years and let me tell you, I was pretty active. Everytime I do sajda or sit on the floor you can hear the crackling sound. But like I said, I've had it as long as I can remember. My family has gotten used to it too. I am the only child who has this. I don't think there is anything wrong to be honest. I think just extra air .. lol

33

Well I went to the doctors, luckily nothing to worry about. becoz I’ve started training again after a long time, I have runners knee (http://http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/beating-injury/bodyworks-runners-knee/229.html)

Doctor gave me some knee Exercises to do b4 and after training. will see how I get on for 2 weeks. If no improvement then I have to go back. also gave me a pump for my wheezing

thnx for all ur help!

Re: knees making weird crackling sounds

I had teh same things ince I was a child. Now the knees hurt while I have teh cracking sound. It did start teh same way while doing teh sajda. Now it happens while I go up the stairs as well. The doctor says its artritis.

35

i have the same problem like u CE...and sanam gave the perfect reply.....yeah its runner's knee..he said it right...i had much pain as well..rather there was some pain at certain points in the knee..after having some sessions with the physiotherapist i was somewhat okay but not completely well...then the dr. gave me this Glucosamine ,MSM & Arnica supplement which can soothe achy joints(its sort of multivitamins..) and also there is a lotion which needs to be applied once daily..now i am much better..i also do the knee strengthning exercises once for 5 days in a week and it wud get better inshallah...i just visit him once in a month...!!!

i complained about my knees so much that the dr recommended me MRI for both of my knees..and luckily it was not that serious :D..but the MRI was itself SCARY!!!!
anyhow :) ALL iz WELL

36

totally agree with what he is saying. My knees have been making that stupid sound since I was a kid. But someone gave me the same advice as JimmyKimble so I worked out more and ate alot more protein now my knees rarely make that noise now!

If your knees are hurting while making that noise then their is something wrong.

good advice JimmyKimble!
