Does anyone get this sympton?
I get cracking knees, feet and occasionally wrists and neck. It's very intermittent and it sounds like something is breaking it's so loud!
Does anyone know why this happens?
Thanks.

My LLMD said it's caused by inflammation. I notice that abx brings it on big time in me. I assume from inflammation.

There are probably other reasons for the cracking too but I've asked my regular doctor before and she didn't know why and I've never heard of another explanation.

I like to amaze new acquaintances by this- I like to go, "Hey, listen!" and then I snap crackle pop crack my jaw, neck fingers, knees,
etc amnd they listen and are ALWAYS impressed*)!*)! Especially my 10 year olds new friends-*)!!

My jaw especially is just plain old CRUNCHY!

Every single joint I have crunches & crackles or pops since I got Lymed*)!!!

My husband doesn't find it sexy though. He doesn't like it. *sniff*

Hi All

I had the crackie joints --Very Bad--

After I started treatment for Babs Also-
the crackies are 98% gone--AAhhh--

It did take awhile for them to go away tho-

Also I took Gluscosimine Sulfate before
figuring out I had Lyme and Babs--

I am 100% sure that the GS saved my joints
from non repairable damage threw the
many years before treatment started--

GS is worth every penny--Jay--
