A member asked:
Is constant cracking and popping of your joints and bones a sign of a serious condition?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not usually: Cracking and popping is usually due to the movement of synovial fluid within the joint, and is usually not worrisome. If there is pain associated with this cracking and popping, it is worth discussing with your doctor.

No: If no swelling, redness or heat, these sounds are not indicative of any inflammatory or degenerative condition. However , your age would tell me if there's something looming in the horizon for those joints.
