Why bone joints make sound when you stretch them?

When you stretch a joint, the pressure inside the joint changes, causing gas bubbles in the synovial fluid to be released. This release of gas bubbles can create a popping sound. The noise is not typically a cause for concern unless it is accompanied by pain or swelling.


Is there bone cancer?

Yes, bone cancer is a rare type of cancer that begins in the bone tissue. It can either originate in the bone itself (primary bone cancer) or spread to the bone from another part of the body (secondary or metastatic bone cancer). Treatment may involve surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.


What causes your bones to make a popping sound?

Popping of the chest is caused by the cavitation of the ribbones connection to the sternum. The sternum is the large bone section at the front center of the ribcage structure. Along either side of the sternum the coastal cartilage (plural) connect the rib and the sternum. Where these connections meet the sternum are joints similar to those of the rest of the body. At these points (as in your fingers) your bones can pop or undergo cavitation (the rupturing of separated of gas bubbles mixed into fluids, resulting in the popping sound).


Does bone cancer commonly start in the bone?

Actually, the opposite is true. Approximately 80% of bone cancers are secondary, such as metastasis from primary tumors in soft tissue. Only about 20% of bone cancers actually start in the bone and then metastasize to soft tissues and other locations.


Joints make popping sounds cure?

Since your bone's ends (i.e. where the joint is) are covered by a thin capsule filled with lubricating fluid (i.e. synovial fluid), the popping noise happens when nitrogen bubbles trapped in the fluid create a vacuum, much like a sonic boom, during joint movements.
