A member asked:
Why are my ankles, hips, spine, hand joints and other joints cracking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Benign: The exact reason for joint cracking is not known, but is thought to be possibly due to nitrogen bubbles releasing from the joint, or tendons/ligaments moving around the joint. Unless there is consistent significant pain or instability associated with the cracking, nothing needs to be done about it.
