A member asked:
I'm 53 , is it normal for my bones and joints to make crackling or popping sounds when.getting out of bed or lifting weights.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The pops and clikck could be tendons snapping over bony prominences, or it could be arthritis. As long as they don't produce pain, there's nothing to do. If they become painful, then see a sports medicine doctor for evaluation.
