Category: Crepitus Joint Noise Popping and Cracking

Crepitus refers to joint noises, such as popping and cracking in the joints, especially the knees. Such joint noise can be quite disturbing and cause concern, particularly if it shows up suddenly. In most cases, these noises are not indicative of any underlying problem. Most joint crepitus, cracking, and popping usually has a ‘bark that is worse than its bite.’ Joint noises often persist for years without any significant problems developing.
