Not a problem: Cracking or popping sounds and sensations in joints is not a problem. The joints all produce small gas bubbles that cause this. Pain associated with this may be cause for a visit to your doctor. There are no future predictive issues with this, it does not mean you with develop arthritis at a greater chance than someone without these symptoms.
