Do your joints click?

[Carmen829]

My shoulder, elbow, and knee click some days worse than others. It seems like I've had it for a very long time. Its not painful. I do not take any supplements or vitamins. I work out 5 to 6 days per week and try to rest 5 days in between rotations. I eat pretty well & try to keep it clean and I know I still have a ways to go.

Should I start taking vitamins and joint supplements like chondrotin? Seems like its too late for that. I'd like to hear your thoughts....thanks.

Carmen.

My joints make that clicking sound. Especially my hips when I'm doing ab work. I've been taking vitamins for quite awhile now, and my joints still click. Not sure what it's from.

I'm very clicky and have been since I was a kid (I can make some pretty sickening noises with my hip and back especially). I haven't had any problems related to this though, so I think some of us are just loud.

I'm very flexible, and one doctor told me he sees that with flexible people. Are you ladies by any chance extra bendy?

In fact, I've been doing the Yoga Link Shoulder Shape Up dvd (thanks to a recommendation on these forums!). It is working my shoulders, back, and chest in entirely new ways, and guess what? My shoulders have started clicking! It worries me a bit, but it doesn't hurt......

Yes, I've always been very flexible.

The sound is usually due to tendons moving over joints and clicking.

Thanks for your answers. I'm pretty flexible.

I was just wondering whether I'm clicking because I'm 50 and I should be taking a joint supplement.

Thanks everyone.

Clicking

My left hip clips when I do a few exercises...very annoying.

I sounded like a bowl of rice krispies this morning when I did my Tae Bo workout! My knees, my hips and my shoulders tend to pop. I'm just a noisy person.
