Why Do My Joints Pop All the Time?
You turn your head to the right and your neck goes.....crrrraaaaccckk You go for a 5k run and your knees go.........pop, pop, pop, pop You rotate your shoulders to warm up for exercise..........crackle, crackle, crackle A lot of people have noisy joints. Some of you can't stand the sound and are willing to do anything you can to make it go away. Some think the sound comes from the joints rubbing and grinding against each other. Others just want to know what the noise is, and is it going to cause long term problems like arthritis. What are these noises and should you be concerned about them?
