What Causes Popping And Cracking Of Joints And Some Pain?

Question: Hi doctor
I had the habit of making cracking or popping sound from my joints in the hand, knee, feet etc.. I was not aware of the seriousness of it and continued doing it. I have stopped that now.
Now I can hear a lot of cracking sound from knee, feet and hands sometimes without deliberate attempt, especially when I walk or do something and there is no pain in it.
Sometimes I feel small pain and on other parts of born in the hand and leg which fades away quickly. I am really worried and I don't whether it will run my entire
life. Please give me an advice

Brief Answer:
It's normal to have sound on joint movement
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for posting
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. The sound is normally produced by movement of tendons at joints and by air trapped in the joint. This is a normal phenomenon. It has nothing to do with arthritis or your future joint health.
Just take balanced diet along with regular exercises to have healthy joints.
Hope this clears your doubt.

Hi
Thank you for your reply. Will it cause any wear and tear on the joints if it continues to make sound?. Some time a small movements of leg and hand make sounds. Today morning i tried to do Push up. Every time i go down i can hear sound from my wrist and i stopped doing it.
From today morning onwards i feel very tired and feels small discomfort in my joints.
I may go to see a doctor tomorrow, but if you have any suggestion please tell me.
Also please suggest me a way to reduce my glans sensitivity. It is extremely sensitive. It is very difficult to touch it. I can move my foreskin back without any problem.
Thank you

Brief Answer:
It will not damage the joint
Detailed Answer:
Hello
You are welcome.
The sound coming from joint will not lead to wear and tear of joint.Do the simple exercises and may take joint supplements like Glucosamine from Nutralite (Amway) and vitamin D (cap.uprise 60K once a week for 3months).
I hope you do not have joint swelling with redness and morning stiffness?
Regarding sensitivity of penis,regular touching and cleaning with lukewarm water will reduce its sensitivity.
Hope this suffices.
