Answers:
The popping noise comes from inside your joints. there is a fluid in between the bones of your joints called synovial fluid, this fluid cushions the joints and protects from impact and from the bones rubbing together- people with arthritis do not have any of this fluid and their bones rub together, hence the pain. the noise is air bubbles in the fluid being squished suddenly., i was told this on a science programme.
