We all know that joint pain goes along with having an MPN, some suffering more than others. My spine pain is so bad that my fantastic Haematologist ordered X-rays and I am waiting to see her with the results. My knees pop and crack terribly and I get a moment when they seem to lock and you know it’s going to hurt but you have to move them. I have put my knees down to ageing (58 this year), but reading posts like yours makes me wonder if, again, this is PV related. I have started taking Tumeric supplements with black pepper, 1000 mg per day, and the difference in my spine pain is incredible but no relief for my knees I am afraid. If your joints are hurting when they crack and pop then, maybe, a visit to the GP to rule out any arthritic disorder is necessary. I should take my own advice lol.

I will visit my gp for sure, I'm only 25 so cannot be age related. My back is really bad at the moment today, I cannot even get dressed without it cracking. Did Google which is a NO GO but seen some scary things
