My knees crack a lot when i go up and down stairs.?

Question

.....any exercises I could do to help this?
.....should I talk to my doctor about anti-inflamatory meds for it?

Answer 1

My knees crack when I go up and down stairs, when I crouch, when I sit, when I stand, when I do anything that involves bending my knees. It's happened my entire life, and my father has the same thing. It has never caused me any trouble at all, except that I get strange looks sometimes when I need a library book from the bottom shelf.

If the cracking is accompanied by pain, or if it started at a time when thought you might have hurt your knee, then see a doctor. If not, you'll be fine. I have been my whole life!

Answer 2

I had the same problem, my doctor told me to take Osteo-Biflex. This stuff is fantastic, I not only got rid of the creaking knees, but also the sore shoulder and elbow from old gymnastics injuries. GOOD LUCK!

Answer 3

It is stiffness of muscles, you need to exercise regularly and probably lose some weight.

Answer 4
