What Causes Cracking And Popping Groin Area When Spreading The Knees Apart?
Hi my groin area cracks and pops a little when I spread my knees apart in a sitting or laying position. I had lower back pain prior that was surging to my groin area, but after icing it for a week or so that pain is gone as is pain in the groin. But it cracks. Is that normal. For all I know it did it before?

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Cracking and popping within the groin is common, and often not a symptom of any particular problem. When the pops are painless, there is usually no problem, but painful pops and snaps should be evaluated by your doctor. A pop is often heard or felt during an injury when a ligament.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
