Young people's bones always make noises

The human body is mainly supported by the bones in the body. I don’t know if you have ever experienced this situation: when you move your body, the bones in your body always make noises, but this kind of noise does not have a big impact on the body, so many people choose to ignore it. In fact, if the bones in a person's body make noises, it also means that there are some problems with the person's body. Today I will explain to you why young people's bones always make noises.

For many white-collar workers who sit for long periods of time, it is normal for bones to make noises. This is because long-term sitting leads to too little body movement, and even a slight large movement may cause bone noises. In addition, you can often hear people making creaking sounds during exercise, such as a sound in the knee joint when squatting, a slight creaking sound in the hip joint when walking, a sound in the cervical spine when turning the neck, and a sound in the fingers when clenching the fingers. These sounds are usually called snapping.

When the joints move, friction and sound will always occur between the articular surfaces, between the cartilage pads and the articular surfaces, between the tendons and the joint capsules, etc. In most people, this sound is not obvious, but in some people it is clearer. Especially for those who sit for a long time, less lubricating fluid is produced between the joints, which increases the friction loss of the joints and makes it more likely to hear the popping sound.

Experts in Chinese medicine believe that joint popping can be divided into physiological and pathological types. Most joint popping is physiological and will not cause discomfort in other parts of the body while making the sound. It does not cause much harm to the body and does not require special treatment, nor is there any need to worry about it. However, some people experience discomfort such as soreness, swelling, etc. when their joints pop, which may indicate that there is a problem with the joints. Common clinical diseases include meniscus injury and patellofemoral osteoarthritis. This pathological clicking is more common in the knee, ankle, hip and shoulder joints.

Whether joint crackling is a hidden health problem has a lot to do with age. Generally speaking, joint cracking in young people is mainly due to physiological reasons, unless there is trauma; but once it occurs in older people, it is more important to consider whether there are local lesions, such as ligament strain, bone spurs, etc. In this case, you should go to a regular hospital for examination as soon as possible, find out the real cause, and actively carry out symptomatic medication, local physical therapy or other physical therapy, otherwise it will cause serious consequences. For example, if meniscus injury is not treated in time, it will aggravate the wear and tear on the cartilage. Cartilage damage is irreversible, which will cause inconvenience to the patient's walking and even lead to lifelong regrets.
