Why do my bones click?

It's probably not your bones.  It's most likely your tendons or ligaments.  Bones have cartilage around them that protects them from contact with other bones.  Unless you've worn that cartilage down you're bones would never touch.  In the event they did you'd feel more of a grinding sensation.  You may just need to get out and active.  Stretch so your muscles don't get so tight and place so much stress on the surrounding tissues.

repetitive motion sydnrome??  carpal tunnel?  Do you do the same thing for long hours every day?  Or play tennis?  Might be tennis elbow too.  I would see a doc about it if it has been happening for several days.  Or maybe you're sleeping on it funny?\n\nOr it might just be Tom Cruise.  He really gets on my nerves and makes them act up.  Maybe he's getting on yours too!

you should definitely go and get it checked out if it persists. There have been cases of tumors in the feet (not to freak you out or anything). Try changing your shoes and see if that might be the cause for all your pain. If that doesn't help, go to your physician.

Your joints can make a variety of sounds: popping, cracking, grinding, and snapping. The joints that "crack" are the knuckles, knees, ankles, back, and neck. There are different reasons why these joints "sound off".\n\n    * Escaping gases: Scientists explain that synovial fluid present in your joints acts as a lubricant. The fluid contains the gases oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. When you pop or crack a joint, you stretch the joint capsule. Gas is rapidly released, which forms bubbles. In order to crack the same knuckle again, you have to wait until the gases return to the synovial fluid.\n    * Movement of joints, tendons and ligaments: When a joint moves, the tendon’s position changes and moves slightly out of place. You may hear a snapping sound as the tendon returns to its original position. In addition, your ligaments may tighten as you move your joints. This commonly occurs in your knee or ankle, and can make a cracking sound.\n    * Rough surfaces: Arthritic joints make sounds caused by the loss of smooth cartilage and the roughness of the joint surface.\n\n\nBasically knuckles crack because pulling on your knuckle joints releases gases in the body’s soft tissues and the joint capsule. As the gases spring out of the fluid and enter the joint space it makes a cracking sound.

I know exactly what you mean.  My ankle does the same thing.  I can do it over and over again just by rolling it.  It is not like cracking your knuckles that you have to wait a while before you can do it again.  I do not know why it happens but it drives my wife crazy when I sit and do it.  I just wanted you to know that you are not the only one with that condition.

It has been incorrectly attributed to synovial fluid moving suddenly (popping) from one side of the synovial fluid cavity to the other when the one side is under pressure.\n\nIt is ACTUALLY the sudden stretching and 'relaxing' of your tendons over your joints as you put the tendons under tension when snapping your fingers.

Yep. sounds like you may have some arthritic changes in your foot/feet.  I know about foot pain becasue I have it often.  I've noticed that eating a lot of calcium or taking calcium supplements on a regular basis helps.  Esp. given the fact that you've just been pregnant, your body may be "leeching" calcium... Try this along with vitamin c (oj) to help you digest the calcium!

Between your bones is sinovial fluid. Sometimes gas builds up in this fluid. Abrupt movements pop the gas bubbles and that is what you are hearing. It can be caused by arthritis or previous trauma to that area. By swinging your neck quickly you can pinch a nerve, that can lead to some serious problems. stretch in the morning and during the afternoon so that the tightness you might feel goes away

probably a question for an MD, but it could be a decrease in the amount of cartilage that you have between your bones.  the crackling may result from a decease in this cushion, allowing the bones to rub together, giving a crackling sound.

It may be a psiatic nerve pinching inbetween your back bones. My mother had the same symptoms as you do. Ask your doctor about it. Do you have any back pains that go along with it?

That's called Mortens toe. Don't know why it happens.

The popping noise is actually gas escaping from your joints. It builds up in the cartilage and is released when they are hyperextended (Over extended than they would be normally). The wive's tale is that this leads to arthritus and large joint bones. There is no evidence to prove this, because it's just a simple gas release. You can only do it once every fifteen minutes (Approximately), due to the time needed for the gas to settle back between your bones.

It sounds like you might have a pinched nerve or poor circulation. If it doesn't get better definitly seek medical attention.
