A member asked:
What usually causes extreme leg pain, joints popping?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nonspecific: Joint popping is almost always benign (similar to cracking knuckles) and very rarely means anything bad. Extreme leg pain can be caused by many things such as a lumbar radiculopathy, neuropathy, muscle injury, etc. I would recommend seeing a physician for evaluation.
