I am roaming around through old posts and wondering if anyone has any thoughts about mild "crunching" sounds.
All my life, even as a kid, I could make crunching sounds if I did deep knee bends. Now they are a little louder and more often as I exercise. It's one of those borderline situations: maybe this is normal and not anything to worry about or maybe I am doing some damage as I continue to exercise.
It isn't a bold popping or snapping sound, just a low level crunching.
I asked my physio but they just seemed to hem and haw and not say much either way.
My main concern is whether I am doing long term damage or whether it's just part of exercising or will lessen as I exercise more.
Any thoughts?

Hi Natalie,
That sounds like crepitus to me. I don't think I would be overly concerned since you have had it since you were a child.
Your not saying it causes you any pain but if you are concerned speak to your doctor about. I'm surprised that your PT could not answer the question for you.
I also don't think exercise should make it worse for you. Think about how active we are as children and you have here this since childhood.
