Do your joints sound like
a cereal commercial-
snap, crackle, pop?
Whether it's cracking
your knuckles, a pop
from your spine during
yoga, crackling knees
when climbing stairs, or
a sudden painful snap on
Mary Jo Albert, MD
the basketball court, what
do these sounds mean?
And when are they cause for concern?
"If the joint is only noisy, with no pain or
other symptoms, you can probably ignore
it," says Mary Jo Albert, MD, an orthopedic
surgeon affiliated with Gwinnett Medical
Center. "But if it is accompanied by pain,
swelling, weakness in the joint or other
concerning symptoms, there may be a more
serious problem."
Diagnostic tests may include a physical exam
with manipulation of the joint, X-ray testing,
an MRI or an ultrasound test.
