What causes joints in the body to start popping with movement and being a little stiff?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usu osteoarthritis: Joints pop when the gas in the joint fluid is pulled out of solution by negative pressure. This can be seen in a normal joint but is seen more often in injured joints and in joints with osteoarthritis. Stiffness is usually associated with arthritis.
