    My knee makes horrible, disturbing crackling and popping sounds when I move it, even just a little bit. It doesn’t hurt at all, and grosses out anyone who is unfortunate enough to hear it. I especially enjoy telling family members to “listen to this” and then slowly extending my leg out.

    I shattered the upper portion of my tibia while bouldering to get this ability. I asked my surgeon about it (my tibia/knee required a total of 3 surgeries to repair) and they told me it was likely scar tissue, and would persist.

      Huh. My knees make rice krispie noises but pretty much only when I’m using stairs. No pain but maybe a little stiffness. I never knew what it was.
