Many people experience joint noise, that is, noise in the bones or joints, which in most cases is produced when making sudden or forced movements. In a large percentage of cases it is not of major importance and it is not necessary for the patient to undergo any specific treatment.
However, if the pain appears accompanied by pain or inflammation, it is important to see a specialist traumatologist to evaluate the patient's symptoms.
For what reasons do bones rattle?
Many people experience sound in your bones when doing regular activities, being especially common in children in the growth stage. In most cases, if the sound is not accompanied by pain, it is not important. In these cases, it is due to the existence of bubbles in the synovial fluid between the bones, this phenomenon is known as cavitation. When these bubbles explode, the gas comes out and a sound is produced, which is what the patient perceives.
In other cases, the noise appears as a consequence of the bone friction, especially in patients with osteoarthritis. In other cases, it may arise in patients with joint laxity, which have greater elasticity in tendons and ligaments.
Pathologies related to bone sound
In cases where the bone sound appears accompanied by pain in the area, is usually a consequence of other pathologies. In most cases, bone clicking can be related to osteoarthritis.
The sound of the bones can occur in any area of the body and in most cases it is related to the wear of the cartilage, in the case of meniscopathies or a snapping hip. Patients with bruxism may experience bone sound when moving their jaw or opening and closing their mouth.
What to do about crunching bones?
As explained, the sound of bones is not always linked to serious pathologies. When the bones sound, it should be observed whether or not they prevent mobility, and if they cause pain to appear in the area.
When should you go to the traumatologist when your bones are cracking?
If he bone sound is repeated and accompanied by pain or immobility, the patient should go to a specialist who can evaluate the symptoms and rule out any more serious pathology.
If inflammation appears after the sound of the bones, it is also recommended go to the specialist traumatologist.
Treatments for bone ringing
Once the traumatologist has studied the symptoms presented by the patient, if pain, inflammation or immobility is experienced, the most common thing is to prescribe a treatment based on anti-inflammatories, which helps relieve the patient's pain.
In addition, it is usually recommended that the patient undergo physiotherapy treatment, which helps with postural correction and strengthening of the joints. In patients in whom the sound of the bones is produced by osteoarthritis, it is recommended to perform rehabilitation exercises guided by a specialized physiotherapist, to help avoid bone friction and joint laxity.
Is it bad to crack your fingers or other joints on purpose?
Not really. The sound is caused by the formation and collapse of gas bubbles in the synovial fluid. However, if we do it excessively, it can cause joint laxity over time and cause discomfort in the future.
For this reason, it's best not to force these repetitive movements for people with hypermobility, and of course, not to force them if you experience pain. If the pain is severe, it's advisable to consult a specialist.
Tips to avoid the sound of bones
As has been seen, in many cases, the sound of the bones is not serious if the patient does not experience pain.
However, there are certain guidelines that can help prevent cavitation and, therefore, reduce the noise of the bones. First of all, it is advisable to play sports constantly and avoid impact sports, which cause wear and tear on bones and joints.
Furthermore, it is recommended consume foods rich in vitamin D, which help maintain a good bone mass index.
Foods and supplements to care for joints that creak
It is recommended Consume foods rich in vitamin D, collagen, magnesium, and omega 3, which help maintain a good bone mass index. Drinking enough water also helps maintain the viscosity of synovial fluid.
What exercises help reduce joint creaking?
Basically, the most important thing is to do gentle stretches of the back, neck, and legs whenever possible to promote joint flexibility, along with active mobility exercises.
Also strengthen the muscles, especially knee and shoulders to stabilize the joints, and Performing low-impact practices such as yoga, swimming or Pilates helps with joint lubrication.
As explained, joint sounds are usually painless and have no consequences on the patient's quality of life. However, if they appear accompanied by pain, it is important that the patient go to a specialist traumatologist to perform the necessary diagnostic tests and apply the most appropriate treatment in each case.

Good morning, I have a concern, I have a 6-year-old child, for about two years I have been constantly hearing that when he walks his bones make a sound. It is like a hammer, the child does not feel pain or anything but when he walks he makes a sound, the sound is continuous as he walks.
Good morning Luz Emerida, we understand your concern. It is important to note that sounds in the joints when walking are common in young children due to their physical development. In most cases, they are not associated with pain or serious problems. However, since you mention that the sound is constant, I would recommend that you consult a pediatrician or a traumatology specialist so that they can evaluate your child and rule out any irregularities.
If you wish, you can schedule an appointment with our specialists so that they can evaluate the case and provide you with the necessary advice. Do not hesitate to call us at (+34) 91 005 39 00

In principle, if there is no pain and if it is not excessive, there is nothing to worry about.

Hello, I hope you can help me, my 15-year-old daughter started having pain in her left wrist 3 months ago that sometimes makes her cry, she can't move it much because it causes a lot of pain, I took her to the family doctor and they told me Maybe it's carpal tunnel, they sent her for an x-ray and it went well, so the doctor sent her to the pediatrician, she sent her to do several studies such as ultrasound, electromyography and blood tests and everything went well but the pain didn't stop her. Stop, she uses a splint but it seems that it is not helping her, not even the painkillers help her to calm the pain when the pain starts to be strong, she also sometimes gets pain in her ankles and jaw that also makes her cry from the pain but the pain of The doll is unable to move it, since she was little she has complained about her wrists because when she was little and we wanted to lift her hands her wrist would crack and she would cry from the pain but then it would go away, but she has always complained about pain in her her wrists, which they told us was due to growth and we did not take much importance until now that she cannot move her, could you recommend another study please since the x-rays, ultrasound, electromyography and blood tests came back fine
The last thing the pediatrician told us is that only with the splint will the pain be relieved and she will no longer follow up because there is nothing more that can be done to what she told me to only use the splint, but also another one. My question is, do you already have to wear the splint for life and will that discomfort ever go away?
Hello Laura,
We recommend that you request a consultation with a specialized traumatologist to have another opinion.
To tell you something, we would have to review the studies and do a physical test.
Greetings
Thank you very much if I will do that on the outside since social security will no longer follow up and I can't leave my daughter with that pain 😢
Hello Laura,
That is, we regret that we cannot help you more through this means, it is very difficult to resolve cases through a comment since we are missing a lot of data about the patient and their medical history.
Good luck
Hello, good day, sorry, what happened is that I had 2 falls about 2 months ago and my foot bent on those occasions. At first we thought it was a pulled tendon and for 1 month they rubbed and stretched my foot. Then I went for an x-ray, they told me I had 3 fractures. I went to the emergency room the next day, the orthopedist told me I had 3 fractures but that there was no need to operate and he didn't let me see the result and sent me home with a splint. I have already had it for 1 month and I still feel a lot of pain, discomfort, numbness, tingling, unable to move and when I move the toes that are not affected I feel and hear that my entire foot is cracking.
Good morning,
We would need to review the X-ray tests as well as an MRI study of the affected limb. Study the causal mechanism and assess the best possible treatment.
Greetings

Good morning... I have a diagnosis of lack of cartilage in both knees as well as a cyst in one of them. My problem is with surgery and my problem can be solved. I will continue exercising and another issue is that I have muscle stiffness when I get up. I have not been diagnosed with the reason. Why does it happen to me? What if I didn't do physical activity is that the problem of stiffness is more noticeable... the only thing I take for these problems is methocarbamol and magnesium for the stiffness. Thank you for answering.
Hello Adriana,
We see that you have been diagnosed and are undergoing treatment. As for rigidity, it can be due to multiple causes, the case would have to be reviewed, the corresponding clinical examination done and the imaging tests seen to tell you something about it.
Rehabilitation and following your specialist's instructions is very important for recovery.
Greetings
Good afternoon.
In my case, half of my body hurts in the joints, I have noticed that my joints, especially the knee and shoulder, crack and become inflamed. I performed rheumatic factor studies and the C-reactive protein value came out a little high. Only my Dr prescribed me naproxen 550 and I have nothing to worry about. But I still have the pain and the other symptoms. What do you recommend me? Do I have anything to worry about?
Hi Ruby,
In principle there is nothing to worry about.
Especially if your specialist has already reviewed you and indicated the treatment.
Greetings
Hello, good afternoon, I would like to know if TMJ and bruxism can produce those horrible sounds in the bones of the head. That's horrible for me. The doctor says that's why I also have fibromyalgia. What should I do? What should I tell the doctor to improve the quality? of life besides that I have bite edge to edge
Because when I'm face down and I raise my knees... My leg completely changes the way I walk. I mean, my knee creaks and the way I walk is automatically different?
Hello Angel,
We do not understand your query. The crunching of the bones and it is not accompanied by other problems is normal.
If this is not the case, you should consult with a specialist.
Greetings
Is it normal that every time I move I make a bone noise? Whenever I bend over or stretch a limb it sounds quite loud but I don't feel pain, and that doesn't happen to the rest of the people my age (I'm 17).
Hello Axel,
In principle nothing happens. Although if you see something strange, we recommend that you go to a consultation to have peace of mind.

Hello, I wanted to tell you that I am constantly cracking my fingers, neck and back, even when I sleep as a way of relaxation, but it is starting to be very uncomfortable. I need to know if it is serious... the traumatologist simply told me not to do it... but the anxiety is already there. starting to be big
Hello José Manuel,
Cracking your bones can cause wear and tear on your joints, but it is not serious.
It is best to follow the recommendation of your traumatologist and look for a solution for anxiety.
Greetings
Hello, I've had the same problem for years but I really don't know if it's something important. My ankles constantly ring when going up and down stairs, sometimes when walking, other times when I'm lying down they creak and the joint feels strange and my body asks me to move my ankle because if not it causes discomfort.
The fact is that my ankle doesn't hurt when I snap it, but when it comes to everyday life I sometimes have discomfort and I am a basketball player and when I play it causes me a lot of pain.
Thank you for reading.
I await a response ❤️.
Hello Enya,
Certain tests would need to be performed to find out what may be happening.

Good afternoon, I am presenting that when I go up the stairs my knee makes a noise but it is when you burst bubbles that you would recommend me please 🙏
Hi, Diana,
We don't understand what you mean by bursting bubbles. The sound of bones is nothing to be alarmed about.
Greetings
It turns out that I used to hear the cracking of bones in the lower excrements, at the level of my feet, from time to time; but since I've had hearing aids, the sound is much more frequent than I perceived, and occurs practically a few times a day. So... you tell me! I think that my joints, at 76 years old, must be in tatters, and the sonovial fluid sounds more like a sonphonic orchestra, with so much cavitation.
Cordially,
Fernando
Hello Fernando,
The clicking sounds in your joints that you hear more clearly with hearing aids are common and usually not a cause for concern, especially at your age. These sounds are usually caused by the release of gases in the synovial fluid, which is natural when you move your joints.
As we age, it's normal for our joints to make more noise due to wear and tear or changes in the synovial fluid. If you don't have pain, inflammation or limited movement, these clicking sounds are harmless and don't indicate a serious problem.
You've probably become more aware of these noises because of the use of hearing aids, which amplify sounds you didn't notice before. If you start to feel pain or limitation in your joints, it would be a good idea to see a doctor for a checkup. For now, don't worry too much; it's normal.
Greetings
Hello, good evening, my back cracks a lot, it's been about half a year now and my whole body hurts, I don't know what it is and for the same reason I always push my arms back, I do that because I think that it makes me feel a little better, but on the contrary, I feel worse.
Hello Rosalina,
The fact that your back cracks and you feel pain all over could be related to several factors, such as muscle tension, joint problems or even spinal problems. Performing movements that are not directed by a specialist could make the situation worse. We would recommend that you consult a doctor or physical therapist for a complete evaluation and an appropriate treatment plan to help you relieve pain and improve your well-being.
Greetings
Hello, my daughter is 3 years old and her bones rattle when she sleeps.
Hello Ricardo,
Bone clicking during sleep can be a normal noise, especially if it is related to sleep movements or postures. However, if it is a recurring noise or if you notice that it is associated with discomfort or pain, we recommend that you consult a specialist. A pediatrician or pediatric orthopedist will be able to evaluate your daughter and determine if any treatment or follow-up is necessary.
Greetings.
Hello good afternoon my name is Luis, a question, what is good for the inflammation of the back and chest, it seems that I have it tight and I lack air, a little.

Hello Luis,
We are very sorry to hear that you are going through this situation. It is important that a specialist evaluate your case in detail to determine the exact cause of your symptoms and offer you the appropriate treatment. Swelling in the back and chest, along with the feeling of shortness of breath, can have different causes, and it is essential to make an accurate diagnosis.

Hello good night:
I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Dermatomyositis 6 years ago but a couple of years ago I noticed that I have a popping sensation every time I sit down or get up, especially my hips and knees. I don't feel any pain when I pop or anything but it does freak me out that I have a popping sensation all the time, even when I walk. I have asked the rheumatologist and he says that it is normal in my condition but I want to ask if this can get worse or maybe go away? Can it hurt at some point or make my situation worse?
Hello,
Rheumatoid arthritis and dermatomyositis can affect joint health over time, so ongoing medical follow-up is essential. Cracking itself is not always a cause for alarm, but if you begin to experience pain, stiffness, or limited movement, it could be a sign that treatment adjustments or preventative interventions are needed.
If you have any questions or need more details on how to handle this situation, please do not hesitate to request an appointment with our team for a more personalized evaluation of your case.

Hello,
A few months ago I started noticing the clicking in my knee and ankle… I have been doing weight training for 13 years and low-impact exercises for 25 years… but those clicking sounds in one leg don’t stop, they are not accompanied by pain, but I don’t know if it has to do with taking glucosamine and chondroitin, which causes more synovial fluid?
Sometimes I thunder all over the place, and that didn't happen to me before. I'm 39 years old...
Will it be necessary to visit a traumatologist?
Blessings, thank you for your response.
Hello Yare,
Painless joint clicking is usually normal and may be due to tendon movement or gas bubbles in the synovial fluid. Glucosamine and chondroitin should not cause excess fluid. However, if the clicking is persistent or accompanied by discomfort, it would be advisable to consult an orthopedic surgeon for evaluation.
All the best!
Dlbm greetings, almost 2 months ago I have a strong pain behind my knee, I can't bend down to pick something up because the pain is intense, it spreads to my ankle and hip bone, and in my front knee I feel like some sharp pains, they did a plate and nothing came out and the pain persists, thank you.
Hello Magdalena,
If the pain persists and initial tests haven't identified the cause, a more detailed evaluation with a specialist may be helpful. In some cases, additional testing may be necessary to determine the source of the problem and determine the most appropriate treatment. If you wish, you can consult with our trauma specialists by calling 91 005 39 00 to discuss your case in depth.
Hi, I had my cruciate ligament surgery for the second time, and ever since recovery, my knee has always creaked a lot, but without pain. I don't like the sound it makes, and I don't know if it can be avoided or lessened. Do you have any recommendations?
Hello Nico,
In order to make a recommendation, our specialists must evaluate your medical history and previous tests. If you wish, you can schedule an appointment with one of our specialists by calling 910 05 39 00.

Hello, I have been diagnosed with lumbar anterolisthesis.
When I stand still for a moment and then try to move forward, it feels like the bones in my lower back have come apart, and it causes pain. After I walk, it lessens. Is this related to my diagnosis?
Hello Sandra,
What you describe could be related to your diagnosis of lumbar anterolisthesis. This type of condition can cause alterations in spinal stability, which can generate that sensation of pain or instability when remaining in a static position. However, it is essential that a spine specialist conduct a more detailed evaluation to confirm if this sensation is directly associated with your diagnosis and to recommend the most appropriate treatment.

Hello, good evening. My wrist joints hurt and swell, and my hands and part of my wrists suddenly ache. I also feel a soft cracking sound, but it's very quiet. What could be causing this?
Hi Lizbeth, thank you for writing to us.
Wrist pain and inflammation, accompanied by cracking or popping sounds, can be caused by several factors: overuse, tendinitis, joint inflammation, or even problems with the cartilage or ligaments. Without an examination, it's difficult to determine the exact cause.
The most advisable thing is an in-person assessment to study your hands and wrists and determine the appropriate treatment.
