Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i am 18 years old. my weight is 65 kg and height is 5 7in my joints make a crackling sound(especially the ankle joint) when rotated . I want to know what can be the reason. I hope nothing is serious. I am also worried whether it would lead to arthritis when i grow.
Crackling sound in any joint is not abnormal unless accompanied by pain or disability. It is a very common finding and does not require any intervention. There is no correlation between these sounds and arthritis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
