A member asked:
Why does my back crack when i go lay down to go to sleep and how can i stop it from happening? i sleep on my back cause of hip implants, but if i go lay down it will crack and then it'll hurt for a while after that, i do have arthritis issues so how?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Arthritis issues: Arthritis in general will involve inflammation of vertebral surfaces, and b/c of the "bone to bone " contact, bending or twisting slightly will make the sound described. Some movements which will occur while reclining are different than keeping erect posture while awake and place articular surfaces in direct contact with arthritic changes in bone, causing the sound. Spinal fusion may stop this.
