This symptom seems harmless at first glance.

Everyone knows that a special liquid can accumulate in the joints, which contains bubbles and which burst with a certain sound. There is no pain.

As Nikolai Subbotin explained, the issue needs to be looked into in more detail.

As the doctor said, the crunching sound may indicate an increase in the internal fold on the joint membranes.

Such folds can hypertrophy due to serious loads.

Moreover, the crunching sound is not accompanied by pain.

Another possible cause of crunching is inflammation of the tendons.

If pain occurs, you should seek medical help.

"The most common story associated with joint crunching is arthrosis. The crunching may appear as a result of damage to the articular cartilage," the publication " Gazeta.Ru " quotes the specialist as saying.
