Is that cracking sound in your knees harmless or harmful?
Occasional knee cracking (crepitus) can be normal — often caused by air bubbles in the joint fluid.
But if the sound comes with pain, swelling, or stiffness, it may signal:
⚠️ Cartilage wear & tear
⚠️ Early arthritis
⚠️ Meniscus injury
💡 Don’t ignore the signs! Early evaluation helps prevent long-term joint damage.
👨⚕️ Consult your orthopaedic specialist for proper diagnosis & care.
