Knee Cracking and Popping (Knee Crepitus). Should You Be Worried?

  • Today’s video covers knee pain, cracking and popping, which is referred to as knee crepitus and the exercises you would implement to help resolve this issue. Cracking and popping sounds that come from the knee are typically associated with the patellofemoral joint, which is located just behind the kneecap.
    Patellofemoral joint pain syndrome (PFPS) describes a very common condition in which a person experiences pain just behind the kneecap. Pain associated with this condition is usually reproduced with activities that put more stress on the joint, such as running, climbing stairs, squatting or prolonged sitting.
    Successful treatment of this condition revolves around temporary behavior modification, such as reducing running mileage and avoiding periods of prolonged sitting. Incorporating exercises that strengthen the hip (glutes) and knee (quads) muscles is also important.
    It is extremely important that people understand that noises from the knee are usually not associated with pathology and may actually be a sign of a healthy, well-lubricated joint. let’s be careful not to make people feel bad about their knee noise as it can negatively influence how they view their body!
    So, if your knees are noisy and you don’t have pain, don’t worry about them. The noise is most likely due to the movement of fluid behind the kneecap and is not an indicator of a developing joint problem.

    I'm 47 and I started working out when i was 43 due to health issues, and I became addicted to it, now I'm in the best shape of my life but I have developed some issues. I have a hip issue that comes and goes...along with a shoulder issue that's starting to heal. I do have popping in my left knee but it's no pain and I never had knee issues in my life. I chalked it up to being older. I realized I have to stretch and do warmup exercises, before I just went straight into my workout. I skip certain stretches cause it irritated my bicep tendons which caused my shoulder pain. I'm learning...I'm sort of new to the fitness industry.

    My knees grind any time I bend it, I was very active and in multiple sports including distance running and had to stop due to the knee pain, I’ve gone to doctor and physical therapists and they have yet to figure out what’s wrong, physical therapy actually worsened my knees and the popping became louder after. I’m only 18 and have been having knee problems since I was about 10, I never knew that this was an actual thing that other people went through, I’m glad to have stumbled across this video :) hope in my knees have been restored

    • @RehabScience
      @RehabScience  Рік тому +9

      I’m glad the video was helpful. Many people, including myself, experience kneecap joint cracking, popping and grinding. However, if you have pain, it is a good idea to find exercises that can help. Usually, hip strengthening exercises (single-leg bridges, fire hydrants, Sidelying abduction) help. I would recommend trying the exercises in my kneecap pain video and my gluteus medius strengthening video.

    My right knee has been popping for the last 5 years since i twisted my knee on a turf ⚽️ field during a game. Since then, my knee constantly pops whenever i do certain exercises such as squats, burpees, or deadlifts. It doesnt pop from the beginning, but after a few reps, it will make that audible noise and get sore. Of course it doesnt hinder anything else. I can still run, walk, jump, and sprint with no problems. I’ve been using a lot of balance/stability workouts to try and strengthen it along with yoga. I’ll gladly add these in.

    My knees have ALWAYS popped. At times it can be embarrassing, especially followed after the usual question from people, “are your knees ok?” I would say I’m active lightly other than doing my daily chores as a mom. But as of the past week, I have been trying to go to the gym more. Now, yesterday I did added a few things like weight to my squats and I don’t know why one knee hurt more than the other to the point I feel I can’t squat.. so I appreciate this video, going to give these exercises a try. Hopefully I get relief

    • @RehabScience
      @RehabScience  Рік тому

      As you probably learned in the video, noises are very common and typically are not associated with pathology. I have actually had the same popping noises since I was a kid that you experience and people often worried about my knees as well.
      If you recently increased the weight with your squats, you may have irritated the patellofemoral joint a bit. This happens to my left knee quite often if I do more squats or increase the weight. The exercises in this video and a bit of rest from more heavily loaded squats should help clear things up.

    To add from around 01:30 : Keep an eye on the cracking (and crunching) if you do have a tendency for musculoskeletal problems and the pops weren't there before, but you had no trauma to make it start and it's gradually worsening. Try to look at prevention when you see that happening.
    I thought it was innocent, but it progressed kinda quickly over just a half year and now I'm wearing a brace and going to the hospital (at 29).

      It's basically an air bubble bursting in the synovial fluid (crepitus), when bending the knees. Just like cracking your knuckles or neck and it's completely harmless, except in a few instances when you experience pain. It could be osteoarthritis (bone degeneration) or rheumatoid arthritis (autoimmune disease of the joints). Hope this kinda helped :)

    My left knee started making a sound when I started dancing again after being sedentary during the quarantine (1.5 years maybe?). My PT said it seemed that my quads became weaker esp. the VMO (dt being sedentary) and then the hard dancing triggered it. I've been strengthening my quads since then and the sound lessened A LOT, it stengthened a whole LOT too coz I couldn't even do single leg (L) wall sits a few months ago, my pelvis would tilt like an idiot 😆 and I would sweat a ton but the cracking is still there when I do deep squats. It's frustrating when I hear the cracking.. I know it depends on each person but how long does it usually take for it to be resolved?
    *And I remember the dance move that triggered it 😆 It was something like a fast lateral twisting of the leg, foot in place. And I swear I felt my kneecap kinda getting "out of the rail" haha I swear I felt it (the right one) move to the side momentarily. I stopped right away coz I got so scared 😆. But the right side didn't start crackig maybe because I'm right-side dominant and my home office is in a corner of the room so I was still working it out when I get up from my chair and was not weakened by the sedentary lifestyle. That's when the sound started (almost imperceptible at first, then became louder after a few months)

      I am glad to hear the quad exercises are slowly leading to less cracking in the knee joint. Based on what you described in the beginning, it is possible that the kneecap was pushed toward the lateral side of the joint, which is how people dislocate in more severe cases. It’s hard for me to say how long or if the cracking will fully resolve. It’s important to remember that while cracking might be annoying, research has shown that in the absence of pain or trauma it doesn’t signify pathology.

    I had been working out for two weeks straight, following a routine with weights and resistance bands, and was also dancing for an hour and a half on the Just Dance video game. After that, I felt a stretch-like sensation in my knee and started limping. I took a week off to rest.
    Then, when I deep-cleaned my bathroom, I ended up with pain in the big toe of my right foot - the same leg as my knee issue. I noticed a rough area of skin on my toe, which I trimmed with a pumice stone, but unintentionally created a wound. The toe became painful, and I started limping again. Now, a week and a half later, I’m limping less, but I still have some discomfort in my leg and lingering knee pain.
    I’m concerned about what might be going on with my leg and knee. It’s not exactly pain but more of a discomfort and stretched feeling that sometimes causes me to limp. I wonder if the exercises I was doing contributed to this, and I’m worried about what might be causing these symptoms. I wonder if these exercises will help me to fully recovered or if there is something else I should do :(

    Start cycling. For the first month or so... My kness killed me after 6 to 12 miles. But after a few months doing between 10-50 miles a week... For some reason my knees wasn't popping or hurting no more; climbing stairs, squats etc wasn't making my knees pop or hurt no more... But as soon as I stopped cycling for 2 months my knees got bad again.

Thanks for sharing information, will try these. 🥹🙏🏽

    Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I appreciate it. I was one of those people who was stressing about the crepitus in my knees. No pain. However, I *did* notice that is I apply downward pressure on my quadriceps tendon (just superior of the patella) that the crepitus is *significantly* reduced. What could this mean? Does that mean that my quadriceps is tight? Thanks.

    Hello again. Thank you for your excellent videos. They are really helpful. Quick question: I have heard it said, in other courses, that a flat back, jack-knife-like, single leg squat is strengthening for the proximal hamstrings rather than the gluts. In these courses they advocate a squat with the neck and back flexed forwards to activate and strengthen the gluts. I'd be very interested to hear what you think about that. THANK YOU Julieann : ))

    So for me, my knees pop ANY time I stand out of a squat. Like, 3-5 times each extension, and once or twice going into the squat(and I'm Asian, so that is my natural rest position). I used to be a competitive swimmer in high school, and I HATED breaststroke because of this. It's part of the reason I no longer swim, as I was afraid of a more permanent issue. My right knee would always feel tender after popping probably over 40 times a minute. I'm 24 now, and still no pain normally, but it definitely freaks people out when I stand. Does that sound normal? No pain or tenderness standing or squatting, unless I do it a lot consistently.

    • @RehabScience
      @RehabScience  2 роки тому +2

      Yes, this still sounds normal and fits with the research on knee crepitus. Some people experience popping during extension rather than flexion. As long as there isn’t pain and you haven’t had a major knee trauma, this is probably just your normal mechanics.

      Yo I get pain now I’m kinda upset because its real. I’ve popped my nees 50+ a day for years played football on 3G turf biked there and back and all on little stretching ie none. But one day they just locked I can run up stairs and stuff but I’m hopping and I was vegan for 5 years now I’m 80% carni try to stay away from oils and grains and shiz but anyway I’m really lost with this one I can’t squat the second I attempt to squat the muscle kinda reaches its lock point and ye I can do one or a few but not good and unbalanced plus it’s not a real squat. Any help would be so much appreciated o haven’t tried ICE properly yet. Any thoughts on that ^ thinking cold baths. I think it may be linked to ankylosis as my back neck fingers ankles all crack something wild to 100s a day :( not painful but I also have no feelings of strength like I’m always kinda off balance or my feet will cramp. Weird first time ever just jotted it all down so excuse the essay but maybe someone else out there who like me who can help. All the best
