Knee crepitus (aka that 'pop' sound) explained!

📢 PSA:

Ever wondered what that POP or CLICK sound is when you bend or straighten your knee?🦵🏽

🍿That POP sound is known as knee crepitus. Research shows that when you experience no pain with this noise, it’s actually totally normal and absolutely nothing to worry about.

Who here is relieved to know this?!👇🏽

Thanks for the informative video.

I felt this crunching sound in both my knees suddenly(today).

I suspect the reverse lunges that I did with overhead kettlebell weights could have triggered this. Because I felt discomfort when standing up from the lunge position. Probably I rushed into progressive loading.

From that point I hear the crunching sound when walking up the stairs, when doing lunges, whenever I drive my knees over my ankle.

Fortunately I don’t feel troubling pain yet. However a dull discomfort is there which draws my attention from time to time.

Could this condition be reversed with right exercises?

Could this lead to osteoarthritis?

😢 but I feel pain. Got an x ray and they said it looks fine

I have no pain but during one boxing class I felt some pain. Because there is a lot of foot work. Then I dont have this pain.
