Cracking joints

[suk1978]

my knees have really started cracking, but they dont hurt throughout the week or when i train legs. its a bit disgusting to hear it though. think im gonna start using wraps and reaching for the glucosomine juice out of my drawer

Congrats, you just might have excess calcium in your body. Cracking joints are caused by extra unneeded calcium buildup on the bones, so during movement, they rub against each other and make sounds. This not a health hazard whatsoever, but just the inconvenience of unwanted sounds. If you are taking a high calcuiam diet maybe you need to change it.

bodybuildingislife1 i got my degree from U of Illinois and am now in chiro school.
pamela- what your talking about is actually pretty similar to an adjustment chiropractors perform.
subzero- io dont know if i necesarily agree with you. if someone has calcium deposits in their joints it's going to hurt and is considered a pretty important problem. The sound you actually hear in craking joints is a release of gas that has built up. kind of like when opening a carbonated beverage and relieving the pressure.
