It depends on what bones you mean and where they are. Many synovial joints have tiny air pockets which can cause a popping or a crackling sound. I have two knee replacement joints and they pop at times which I was told was normal. Sometimes age can be a factor. There is always the friendly family doctor to ask as well.

Does rheumatoid arthritis cause cracking bones not literally like breaking but cracking noises?

Rheumatoid arthritis can cause joint damage, leading to inflammation and cartilage deterioration, which may result in cracking or popping sounds when moving the affected joints. These sounds are often due to changes in joint structures and the accumulation of excess fluid within the joints. Consulting a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management is essential.

How do you stop your tailbone from making cracking noises?

Ever so often I feel a need for my tailbone to feel relief. It usually has pressure on it, so if I lay down or squeeze myself together, my tailbone will make a cracking noise. It is so loud that others can hear it. I can feel it and hear it making a cracking noise, but I feel no pain. Then, once my tailbone is done with the cracking sound, it won't do it for a while until I feel the need to get relief from my tailbone again. If I ignore the need to get relief, I have extreme pain and it feels like my tailbone must be locked. If I try to lay down or squeeze myself together while my tailbone hurts, it won't budge. When I feel this pain, it tends to take days before the pain is actually gone. Please, if you know of anything that could help me, I would really appreciate it because I know it's not normal. Thanks so much!
