MadManMike Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hey y'all,I've noticed in the last 6-12 months, my ankles seem to be wearing out - you know the feeling when they need to click?If I move my feet around they make loud cracking noises and ache a bit afterwards. Is it riding that's causing it?Is there any long term implications? ie Arthritis or something?Just wondering if we all get it but nobody mentions it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psycholist Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 If the clicking is repeatable as in the same movement produces a click every time it's more likely to be ligaments/tendons popping over the outside of the joint than bubbles in the synovial fluid. I'm pretty sure most peoples joints make some noise as they're moved around, but its more obvious in people who exercise (This could be just a side effect of the muscles/ligaments being stronger to begin with) it doesn't seem to be harmful unless it hurts...

Sam-Addy A3 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 This is turning into a bit of a competition haha.Ankles, knees, hips, elbows, wrists, back, neck But yeah, should be ok, but if you're worried, just make a doctor's appointment, better to be safe than sorry.Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshlyd1 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Well i get alot of things click Like my arms wrists ankles knees all joints in fingers shoulders etcAs it has been said it is nitrogen being released and tendons movingI have asked my GP before about this happening and i asked if there was any long term effects like arthirtus etcHe acctually said NO there are no long term effects or any bad effects on your body when clickingInfact he said it was good to release the gases Hope i have helped Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
