It varies from a dull ache to a sharp pain; sometimes it's only in one joint, sometimes more than one; it doesn't seem to be related to what I'm doing at the time. The clicking noise occurs without any pain, too. My doctors seems to think that if it's not arthritis, it's not important. Let's hope.

Sagan-- it is likely that your finger is a little hypermobile due to the strain and years of clicking!

Mary Anne-- hm, what kind of pain are you experiencing? sharp, dull/aching, how long does it last? When does it occur?

Spring girl-- here's hoping it's nothing but good ole clicking :)

Funny, my left knee clicks constantly when I go for a walk and just on Friday afternoon I decided I should really go see a physio and make sure there weren't any problems with it!

nothing clicks yet, but I do take glucosamine and chondriton daily and it helps, I think.

What about with pain? It moves around: knees, ankles, shoulders, but seldom at the same time. I do try to work everything evenly.

My ankle used to click like crazy, though it doesn't much anymore. Now it's my middle finger of my right hand that CONSTANTLY clicks. And then it's just addicting and I WANT to click it. (Must admit that I do. Frequently. Am trying to stop!)

I just realized that I'm pretty sure it's that same finger that I sprained twice about 10 years ago. Would there be any connection to that? (It's only started clicking in the past couple years...)

I have very clicky ankles and toes. That has never changed. I seem to need to stretch them shoulders out a lot too. Feels good. Yoga does wonders for the shoulders and neck. I've really come to appreciate it.

Being of middling age, yoga does a whole lot of goodness for me - balance, flexibility, getting rid of stiffness and soreness, strength, relieving stress. I think it's because I changed my workouts lately and am already missing my yoga. Sniff.

My knees give a nice click, click, click all the time. It bothered me when it first started but now I'm used to it.

Clicking can also be a result from scar tissue..forgot to add that in!

Tom-- that would be great for her!

Dr J-- still working on the site! so frustrated!

Carla-- multiple sprains over your lifetime? GREAT EXAMPLE of what I'm talking about here...lack of stability because of strains= click, click click..although that may not be what your talking about :)

Rupal - My wife has knees that pop when walking stairs. She claims the left pops going down and right coming back up. I'm trying to get her into a stretching routine as I've started a new one for about a month now and feel much more flexible.
