I'm 22 and since thee 7th grade or so my elbow joints have cracks!. and i believe my knee joints do as well some times!. if this isn't constricting her from her daily activities and not causing her pain then it shouldn't be too big of a problem!. it if probably something that won't ever go away, i have had to learn to deal with my elbows doing this, (push ups especially are not fun for me but still do-able)!. if the cracking gets worse and pain occurs i would consult with her doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's unlikely that joint cracking is a significant cause of arthritis!. Joint cracking is usually painless, and so long as it does not cause pain, most doctors agree that you are unlikely to be doing any harm!. There are some conditions that can cause a joint cracking that need to be addressed, but these tend to cause symptoms of pain!.
If you have joint cracking that cause pain, you should be evaluated by your doctor!. Otherwise, you are not likely to be causing any problems, including arthritis, by your joint cracking!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
