Bone Cracking Sound issue knees

I have been experiencing a persistent cracking sound in my knees whenever I bend them deeply or sit with my legs crossed, and this issue has gradually become more noticeable over time. Recently I also noticed similar sounds beginning in my shoulder, which has made me more concerned about what might be causing these sensations. Although the cracking is not always accompanied by pain, there are moments when my knees feel uncomfortable and even slightly painful after repeated movement or extended periods of sitting or standing, which affects my daily routine and makes me more cautious about my movements overall.

Fracture in Fibula Head

I have a fracture on the Fibula head due to fall from bike 2 weeks ago. The doctor didn't apply any cast/plaster but advised to use hinged braces. Only cycling, sitting crossed legs, stairs up down is restricted by the doctor. But I'm walking minimally(Partial weight on the fractured leg) and time of the time sitting keeping my leg straight. Pain and swelling reduced. But stiffness around the knee and pain during flexion of the knee. Should it heal without cast/plaster and how many days would it take to walk normally?

Validity of shoulder MRI

I have shoulder pain for last five months. I took a MRI. It said the following. Supraspinatus tendinosis without evidence of tear. Mild acromioclavicular joint arthropathy. Minimal subacromial–subdeltoid bursitis. MRI of neck is normal. I have not had any significant pain relief yet. Pain is still same. My doubt is - How long is the mri taken in Jan 2026 valid for ? There has not been any injuries or falls after that. For my condition , for how long should I consider this mri valid ?

Shoulder pain and mild upper back pain

I have had pain in the right shoulder area for the last four months. Consulted multiple doctors and physios but the problem remains the same. Doing range of motion exercises alone as more exercises only seem to increase pain. Want to know if this condition generally takes time to get better. 1. Heaviness felt in the shoulder after waking up. 2. Some pain in the biceps now and then. 3. Mild electric wave sort of feeling now and then in upper back. Have done UsT and IFT intermittently for ten sittings. Attaching my MRI. Tablet Etoshine MR was prescribed by doctors but I have not had the course as it didnt sit well with my stomach. What exactly is going to help me feel better soon ? Pls advise.
