My knees crack. They crack a lot and very loudly too, loud enough to wake Mrs Feet up at night!
Most of the time it doesn't hurt when they crack, but sometimes it 'twinges' a bit. Generally speaking my knees have a slight ache.
I will be dragging myself down to the docs (again) at some point, but he's more than likely just going to say I'm getting old again (although at 42 I don't really consider myself to be 'old'!)
So, Dr Singletrack - what do you reckon? Will my legs explode? Do I need a double amputation? Will kittens die as a result of my noisy knees?
Can you be a bit more specific?
First guess, on that limited info, would be patella tracking problem. If so, Try building up the VMO (last few degrees of leg extensions), work on flexibility- quads, ITB, lateral retinacular, hams, etc.
Could be small cartilage tears too. Or arthritis. Probably tracking issue though! Exercise as above shouldn't make many conditions worse.
See a physio.
Don't have surgery unless it is absolutely necessaries. Learnt that at my own cost- twice :-/
Hmm, more to think about
Mine do it too, have done for years. Slowly getting worse. Doctor says it's normal?
