Joints cracking

2019-09-29 04:09:26
My joints( hands, legs,knees)  are cracking too much these days while sleeping, or walking or during any movement randomly , although they are painless. What should I do, can it be due to a deficiency or beginning of some disease, should I opt for complete checkup? it has started almost from 3 months, before that it wasn't too much cracking

Hi. Sounds or cracking sensation while moving can be worrisome if it is associated with pain and swelling. Painless cracking of joints should not be worried. It can simply be snapping joints. Do observe for further progress.
Next Steps
Observe. MRI if required.
