Wolverine Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I got 'em. Now what do I do about 'em? Anything?My knees crunch when I do squats and lunges (any and all variants). I'm pretty sure my form is good. No pain, but it's not exactly comfortable either. This started while I was still hitting the squat rack at the gym (I'm a working out at home, bodyweight, Assassin type now). No injury that I can pinpoint.Thoughts?

Ragged Claws Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Are you warming up sufficiently? Do the sounds stop after you do a couple sets, or do they continue regardless of what you do?

Horsedog Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 My knees crack like mofos every single time I do squats or lunges...or really any knee bending past parallel with the ground at all, even unweighted bends. I asked my doc about it and she said that, as long as there is no pain, not to worry about it. It's something called crepitus and is fairly common, especially at the knees (although it can happen at other joints, as well). What you do, and what you don't do, matters. Link to comment

Shortkaik Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I have the same problem. It freaks me out sometimes, but there's no pain. Nonetheless, might be good to mention it to your doctor next time you visit and see if they have any comments or advice. Mmm... kaik.Twitter - flickr Link to comment

Ragged Claws Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I have a click in my shoulders when I do big wax-on wax-off motions, but it does not hurt at all. It seems to go away, or at least is minimized, after I am well warmed up. Not sure what I can do about it, but I did notice recently that my 6 year old daughter has the same thing.

CowboyMisterIndependent Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 My ankles click and crunch a lot, even just when walking. Never really got it checked out, but I'm not crippled from it yet, so I imagine it's alright...Sent from my MB865 using Tapatalk 2 Cowboy - Human Adventurer STR: 3 | DEX: 2 | STA: 2 | CON: 2 | WIS: 3 | CHA: 3 Link to comment
Wolverine Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Thanks all! I shall try some mobility and see if I can't get it to stop! Wolverine Level X Mutant Link to comment
Pat G Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 That mob helped out with my own crunchy knees. Less crunch, less pain. Bigm is a gold miner. "Strength is the cup. The bigger the cup, the more you can put in" - JDanger Link to comment
