When I squat or walk down the stairs, for example, my knees, hips and sometimes ankles make this unpleasant cracking sound. Is it just me?

My knees crack everytime I squat. My mum's the same so I guess it may be genetics.

Ugh I hate it! Also it happens when I bend my wrists
I play tennis and stay physical, but it still cracks
It makes me feel like my bones are breaking down or something

Does anyone know why it happens? Is it unhealthy?

My big toes pop almost every time I move my feet. I've had to learn to walk differently in order to not be so noisy

My back cracks on occasion when I take deep breaths and ofc my knees creak every time I sit down or stand up. So annoying.

My ankle does if I haven't moved my foot in a while, so annoying bc it's fairly loud especially if I'm in a quiet area.

yes I get it crackin like a bad back

Sometimes

Love

Yesss but I love the sound of it until it hurts.I thought I was the only one.

n sme

what a strange thread but yes. My knees crack all the time. Its kinda funny especially in public when I bend down to pick of something, I sound like an old man.

My ankles pop every time I walk down the stairs That's what years of tennis does, I guess.

Mess, my mother's friend knees used to be very noisy when she was a child. She's 50+ now and in a wheel chair. (Only because she's obese tho and her knees couldn't take the pressure.)
