Re: Bones/Joints popping & cracking

[Guest guest]

Hi Traci,

My name is Lynn I was diagnosed with RA almost a year ago. I have RA

in my right wrist, and I suspect in my right shoulder as well. I have

nodules on my left and right elbows and then I have a bone nodule on my

thumb knuckle. I do have clicking in my neck , and bones cracking in my

shoulder , ankles, & popping in my jaw....but they have ruled it out as

RA ( so they say ) and tell me its TMJ.

diagnosed in March 2007. I currently have RA in my left foot with

eroisions, my left knee (cartlidge thinning), my right shoulder, right

wrist with eroisions and my fingers. I was just wondering if anyone with

RA experiences popping and cracking of the bones/joints? Please share

any info with me. Thanks, Traci

Yes, I experience the popping in my ankles and wrists.I also have the

cracking noise in my knees.I thought it might be from not using my

joints as much,but now that I know someone else with RA deals with

this,it makes me wonder if this is a sign of erosion.

Traci,

Welcome to our gourp and I am so glad you have found us. You will find

that so many, many people are compassionate and understanding here.

Also is great to educate us with postings.

I am so sorry that you have this disease. It is a continual learning

experience for myself.

I do have several joints that pop and crack. One is a finger on my

right hand. I can't use it until I bend it and then something pops and

it goes back into place. This is first thing in the am and off and on

all day. My ankles and toes are similar but not as frequent. I did

have like a grinding in my neck but that has improved since my surgery

there. I don't know if this is the same as what you are experiencing,

but I did want to reply and tell you a little about our group.

Hi Doreen, Thanks, it does help. Yeah most of the time it doesn't hurt when they

pop & crack. Do you think it is due to erosions? Traci > > Hi and Welcome

Group, on joints cracking;

My knuckle cracked the other day when I got off the doctors exam

bed. Omg, that surpised me a little and it was loud. I said

casually " My bones is cracking apart. " THe rheumy made no comment

so I figured it's another mystery with my body. At least with this

group I know what to expect and how much it will hurt. I love my

support group. I dont know what I would do with you you guys. Thanks

so much.

gentle hugs

You're welcome, Traci. I don't know exactly what the popping and

cracking is caused from and as I read the other posts, it sounds like

the doctors aren't too concerned with it either. If it is truly

bothersome to you, ask your Rheumy about it. Let us know if your doctor

gives you a better answer than we all seem to have gotten so far from

ours....Doreen
