What Is The Chronic Cracking Sound In My Knees?
I don t have any pain in my knees, but for as long as I can remember, whenever I bend them for any reason, they crackle like I am crinkling paper. I am only 33, but it has been going on for at least 10 years. Is it something that I should be concerned about?

Hello,
I have studied your case It is very common to have crackling sound in knee joint and it is not a disease. I would assure you that it is not going to give any trouble in future. It can occur in a normal knee also. I have following suggestions for you.
1.Avoid squatting and sitting cross leg for sometime.
2.Hot water fomentation is also helpful.
3.You should take calcium and Dicerin tablet.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
