Clicking bones...

[Argonian]

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong area...

I'm posting cos for a long while now I've had (some times painful) clicking in my knees, elbows, and hips. I'm assuming that this isn't really that good and asking if there's anything I can do about it?

Knees: click and hurt if I squat all the way... Sometimes when I'm cycling or driving I get an urge to just straighten my leg to click my knee... Otherwise its movement is less smooth?

Elbow : same sort of thing, occasion I just need to straighten my right elbow to crack it.

Hips : if I do sit ups or if I sit down and move one leg in a circular motion, my hips will crack a lil...

Help?

I've always had the same thing. I think it's kind of like what you can do with your fingers (I do that, lol)
Some say it's bad for you, others don't.
I've always been doing it and I don't think it's really that harmfull unles it actually hurts you. It should feel like a slight click but not like your breaking something

That's called cracking your knuckles, I can crack my neck, all fingers including my thumb, back, elbows, wrists, sometimes my knees, and my ankles :P

Yeah it might be just your cracking them unintentionally, I do that sometimes. if you're worried about it just call your doctor and ask him/her

Yeah, i can crack it all too. its actualy kind of a nice addictive feeling, lol.
But there is a diference between the finger and neck cracks, and the cracks in your knees and elbows. not sure what exactly, but theyre slightly different

So no ideas on how I could reduce the pain of the clicks? Or try to stop the clicks?

I use to have this however it stop a couple years later.

I've had the clicking in my knees for a long time, maybe 6 years?

Elbow cracking is recent and hip cracking is a few years I think.
