tendon ligament
Wow, so many things in common including NO answers. A couple years ago I jumped up to swat a wasp down from my living room ceiling. As soon as I left the floor, it felt like someone took a baseball bat to the back of my left knee. I swear I heard it snap. I fell to the floor like a rock. I couldn't straighten it nor bend it. It was stuck. After ER and several weeks on crutches it got better. It's still my "trick knee", coming out from under me with sharp but very brief pain.
Then last year I went to pick up my daughter having a temper tantrum on the floor and it felt like someone hit my hand with a hammer. I looked at my right hand and my middle finger was touching my thumb, the ligament visably over the nuckle! I put it back in place myself and soon as I closed my fist it went again. After a brace and weeks of therapy, it's now my "trick finger" with periocic cramping.
I battled chronic fatigue, then elbow pain. Found out I had limes, got treatment, assumed I had fibromyalgia, take lyrica. I suffer from sharp pin point stabbing pain. I honestly look down to see if I'm getting stung. I walk for excercise and often get a "trick twinge" while doing nothing but walking that will disable me for days. My legs and hips often feel disjointed. Tonight I shifted my weight from one foot to another while cooking dinner and my arch snapped and it's been difficult to walk on it all night. I can feel the "snap" every time.
It's not my imagination and I'm tired of doctors looking at me saying "hmmmm, I see, how long has this blah, blah, here's another pill, oh it doesn't work, here's another, doesn't work, up the dosage, blah blah". What the hell? I'm 38 and feel like I'm 78.

I really don't think it's the bones. These are ligaments/tendons that tear. I feel the snap of them and have to have rehab each time.

Hi
Welcome to the forum!
Cracking and popping sound in joints is made when two bones rub against each other or due to fixated joints. Bones of a fixated joint are temporarily stuck together due to suction force because of a vacuum created between the joints. When this vacuum is broken, we hear a popping sound. This happens when a joint is more mobile than normal, dislocating the fluid between the joint and creating a vacuum. This has a tendency to recur, as is happening in your case. A number of times this happens due to some genetic problem like hypermobility joint syndrome. Please talk to a genetic specialist regarding this.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
