Has anyone experienced constant cracking/popping in their joints? This symptom developed in October and is just getting worse. If I move any part of my body you hear cracking. I’m taking Magnesium but doesn’t seem to be working much. I feel much worse in the morning with pain in the arch of my foot and heels too.

I have had cracking joints since childhood, but not usually spontaneous cracking. The only spontaneous cracking I remember was in my shoulders and upper back in the mornings. If I shrugged my shoulders upward, I heard snap, crackle, pop.

Do you have bartonella?

Cracking and popping joints is not uncommon here. Many past posts on this so you are by far alone.

Your joints are tight probably from uneven joint tension caused by any of these infections.

The noise is actually a type of gas escaping - yep, its even "goggle-able".

Turning my neck sounded like gravel - mostly quiet now years later. Hips snapped, big toes cracked ect. My sternum even let out a loud but dull crack (base note lol) when outwardly stretching upper body.

This joint noise when on for a decade before treating for tick infections.

I could not sneak up on anyone if my life depended on it back then (not like I intentionally do that though .

during treatment when i was dabbling in stuff i think i drove pathogens deeper into connective tissue with not strong enough doses to kill offenders. the "rickets" where audible and nearly every joint ! some of it was mineral deficiency but it seemed like my fats processing was either impaired by low gall bladder function or my body was allocating efas for nerve health instead of joint lubrication. i went on a bacon and butter diet with mct , krill oil fish oil , flax oil , cod liver . calcium lactate supplements helped also . i then used bvt and francenscence followed by dmso to reduce inflammation . detox baths to remove excess lactic acid was also very helpful...keep us posted

If I knew back then what I know now, I would definitely use DMSO to "drive in" some of the topical tick infection "eradication" herbs into joints and tendons. Surprised this is not a thing. (?) Or is it,... but not here??

I doubt we completely eradicate these bugs in the white tissues (no blood flow) , so this idea might still be worth a try in my case. I have some teasel tincture and a bag dried HH left that I can easily make into a tea (tincture takes a few months).

This is called crepitus.

Do you have pain in other places or just feet/heels? Tendon pain? SI joint pain? Full body stiffness? Does anyone in your family have psoriasis?

Dcd2103 - I didn’t know It had a name (crepitus). I googled it, and the noise is gas..
I googled it, and the noise is gas.. So the same thing Apparently.

these symptoms are not uncommon for tick infections. Including the symptoms you listed too. Many here in the past when this place was busy.

Lyme Can cause this, but it goes away with treatment.

(Were you thinking the cause was something else?)

Well when i see someone mention the heal/achilles tendon, and full body crepitus. Sounds just like psoriatic arthritis (or something in spondyloarthopathy family of diseases, theyre very hard to distinguish from each other). I have some sort of spondyloarthritis so I notice when someone mentions a symptom that I identify with.

PsA loves to attack the achilles, favorite spot. Feet too. And the full body crepitus is a symptom I keep seeing everyone in the PsA groups mention. I have it as well. It's very extreme. Not like a few pops here or there, its like every single joint in my body cracks and pops when I'm having a flare, even joints that dont hurt.

I dont doubt lyme can trigger it. There's a form of spondyloarthopathy called reactive arthritis that happens after an infection and can often go away with treatment. It's a T-cell issue tho. I noticed she also has burning skin like me. Some autoimmunity going on for sure.

Well, any symptoms mentioned on this forum can be of many causes.

But if the OP for certain has tick infections, I would say this is most likely the cause of the joint noise.

(The fact that my joint noise was related to an overall tight body pulling on things, which improved with antibiotics well, that wasn’t a coincidence. ABX certainly halted the downward spiral , but it’s been a lot of work to fix the damage left behind. )
