Does eating stuff with too much salt cause joints to crack? we had this potluck at my job and then my knee was cracking later, any connections?

No relation.: Your complaint may be related to your hip and knee surgeries or arthritis of the knee which may be still going on. See your orthopedic doctor.

Unrelated: It's unlikely the pot luck food was related to cracking joints. Excess salt may cause fluid retention, but should not cause cracking joints.
