When I exercise, my main joints click constantly. Mainly my affected elbow when weightlifting, in fact even stretching it can click 5-8 times before straightening out slightly. It never hurts.
I have a nodule on the elbow so is it just air passing around the nodule? It’s never been answered really.
Crepitus is fairly normal. I can sound like a percussion band sometimes.
If you have inflammatory arthritis though be very careful about weightlifting. If your joints are at all inflamed you can do damage easily.
Hi Helix,
Yep I am very careful with weights and what I am capable of. I have a review next week to discuss this in greater detail and I appreciate your reply 
It just the noise the fluid makes as it moves in the joint and is thought to be of no significance (as far as has been established). I've ignored it all my life!
Crepitus is caused by escaping air between the joints, really small bubbles of air (nitrogen) in the synovial fluid which surrounds the joints. You could hear it in any joint & as long as it's not causing pain or there's lack of inflammation around the particular joint/s then it shouldn't need investigating. If there's anything else arthritis related we can help with you only need ask.
Bad practice...not acceptable
Very bad night sweats
Gone from bad to worse !
