That grinding, crackling, or popping sound in your knee? That’s crepitus — and while it can be common, it’s not something to ignore if it comes with pain or limited movement. Crepitus can come from: • Changes in the cartilage • Irritation of the meniscus • Issues with the joint lining fluid If it’s painful or affecting how your knee moves, it’s time to talk to your doctor for a real diagnosis — not guesswork. The sooner you know what’s causing it, the sooner you can fix it. #KneeHealth #Orthobio
