Listen to the Sounds of Knees Cracking

Eavesdropping on the creaks and groans of an athlete’s knee could help doctors track healing after injury or surgery.

I’m really not sure when my knees started doing this, but they’ve been making that sound for at least 10 years. I didn’t play sports as a kid, didn’t get an injury - but I did learn that nutrition could play a role. There’s an age of childhood that is crucial for joint development...and I basically only ate pasta back then. eat yr veggies guys. & Lately I’ve gotten them to make way less sound - not sure which factor helped, -I never used to put on lotion but started to (this is a long shot, but maybe it’s like a creaky hinge that needs oil? I use only natural oils for lotion, our skin absorbs products, and I’m not a fan of the giant chemical names that nobody can pronounce) -I’ve also been focusing on keeping the correct muscles engaged while moving, like keeping my core engaged when standing up. hope this helps my fellow creaky-kneed people haha ❤️

[@nelli.bonelli]

@@martinw245 Mine improved a lot now!!! My PT said going downstairs is actually more effort for the muscles since it's an "eccentric(?)" muscle movement, the muscles are lengthening. While going upstairs, the specific muscle contracts and becomes shorter

[@martinw245]

@@nelli.bonelli I don't think it's related to effort. If I apply effort in the concentric direction no noise. Its only eccentric. Related to mechanics rather than effort I'd say. Did you do anything to improve the situation?

Hi, Guys! I have crepitus since I was 19. (my knees were very loud) I checked my vitamin D3 and it was very low.. I changed my food plan and didn't stop the gym. I added vitamin D and omega 3,6,9 like supplements in my menu. And never stop moving. So that's the key. My knees get better.

I have never injured my knee even though I play pro basketball. And when I squat my knee starts cracking, after that I started ignoring the sound by just counting my squats loudly and never heard that sound but of course it won't go away. I started doing exercises for each of my muscles. The sound reduced a little but not much. I got kind of scared when I found out it can get worse and start feeling pain.

@@HA-dn4ez update. I've done some strength building exercises for my quadriceps the past 2 months. The sound has drastically been reduced! It seems that my VMO muscle had weakened.
