What does it mean when you have your hands flat on knees and can feel them grinding on touch and creaking?

Crepitus: Crepitus is the medical term for a crunching sensation in the knee as it is bent back and forth. See a dr. And get an eval to determine why you are experiencing crepitus in your knees. Best wishes.
