i like to think fish oil capsules help the joints a lot

yeah. my shoulders do the same thing when incline benching/ shoulder pressing. both my knees and shoulders hurt when they do this. never used to. before, it was just the sound

My knees have always popped every so often. About 16 years ago the doc told me that I'd grow out of it and that it wasn't a problem. I didn't grow out of it, but I haven't ever been concerned that it was an issue. I haven't experienced any pain when they pop, at least not yet.

They helped my joints a whole lot. I use to have serious clicking in my shoulder and its much much less now. Helped my lower back as well.

My right knee has been "crunchy" for years now. My doctor told me that I'm probably in for some arthritis when I get older, but unless it's painful or swells up, there's little that can be done.

I just started back on MSM with glucosamine.

You pretty much have to live with it. I hear it could be cartlidge shifting around.

what is MSM?

I get that in my elbows/knees all the time, just by extending my arm/moving etc. It sounds like bubble rap popping. Yeah apparently if it happens to much the bone thickens causing problems in the future. I think the cracking is nitrogen/carbondioxide bubbles. No pain yet.

I don't remember exactly what the acronym is. But it's actually a sulfate-based compound that is said to be great for joints.
