Everytime my friend bends down her knees crack, and that's been happening for 6 !


Question:

Everytime my friend bends down her knees crack, and that's been happening for 6 years. Will she get arthritis?

I have a friend, who whenever she bends down, her knees crack. I asked her how long she has been doing it, and she said since 2003! But she can't help it. Will she get arthritis in them? Considering she's only 12?


Answers:

MORE THAN LIKELY SHE WILL DEVELOPE ARTHIRITIS AT SOME POINT. BUT JUST BECAUSE HER KNEES CRACK AND POP IS SOMETHING ALOT OF CHILDREN DO, THEIR BONES AND CARTALIDGE IS STILL FORMING. IF IT CONTINUES I WOULD SEE AN ORTHOPEADIC DR TO SEE IF IT NEEDED TO BE SCOPED. THAT IS WHEN THEY GO IN AND CLEAN OUT BEHIND THE KNEE CAP, BUT USUALLY NOT AT THAT YOUNG OF AN AGE. HOPE THIS HELPS
