Strange crack in my leg where there is no joint
I keep getting this weird crack in my leg when I move it. It sounds like a joint being cracked (such as knuckles, etc) but it's on the front side of my lower leg, slightly to the right, directly between the knee and the ankle. It will crack pretty loudly simply from me tensing the muscles in my leg and pushing downward (like when I get up after sitting). What in the world is this? There's no joint there so I don't know what's making that noise.

Hello!
Is it an acute or a chronic presentation? If you have these symptoms since long then it can be an old injury, you would need to recollect any old fracture or fall or accident.
Go for an X-ray and follow up with an orthopedician.
