Thread: Knee clicks

Heya,

The last few months, every time I do a squat me knees click. It hasn't always been like that, just started up. Doesn't hurt or get in the way, but it is a bit worrying.

Just wondering if anyone else has that. Should I be taking a joint supplement?

Joe

can be a number of reasons, at times the ligaments can jump out of a groove, occasionally some crystalization of synovial fluid, slight cartilage damage.
could try things like fish oil, glucosamine, chondrotin, msm

Mine are the same, can hear them 'crunching' whenever I bend down. Got a feeling they're come back to haunt me in years to come!

Same If my leg is bent then I put it straight it clicks.

I must admit when i was doing my squats on wednesday both knees were realy making a crunching sound (very disturbing) no pain though

Hmm thanks for sharing this wonderful post, I really like to your thread.It is quite helpful discussion according to me, thank you so much for the impressive post......

I'd say get an appointment with a chiropracter first of all to make sure everything is lined up properly, if it is get an appointment with a physio and see what they have to say.

When I squat down my cruciate ligament comes out the groove and pops back in as I stand up, it's agony. My chiropracter and physio found no faults so I went to a private orthopedics specialist and found out one leg is 12cm shorter than the other! It had never troubled me before when I was carrying more muscle but now there is less muscle to keep everything in place I have problems cropping up.

12 CM is a lot did you not limp?

im the same, if i squat slowly i hear a grinding noise. i saw a physio about it she said it wasnt anything to worry about and loads of people have it. knee supports certainly do no harm all the same

this is how my knees started out mate and now i have grade 4 arthritis in both knees ..... also awaiting an op for meniscus tear ..so make sure u get it seen to soon
