Swelling in the joints: When it's worrying

You are surely tempted to "break" your fingers to hear the crack feature.

But what if this sound is heard without looking at it and even from joints that you do not expect? 

See some details about the sounds of the joints to know when to take action:

- If the sound is not accompanied by pain, it does not cause any worries. But if you feel pain, then discuss it better with orthopedics.

- If you hear "crack" on the shoulder and you are under 35, perhaps the sound shows joint instability and care - usually physiotherapy. If you are over 35, the area may be inflamed - most likely after 45 years of age. In the early stages it is being treated with physiotherapy, but then you may need anti-inflammatory or even surgery. At the age of 60, it usually means arthritis.

- If you hear the crack in a joint that you use very often and you are hurting (eg the shoulders on the shoulder), then you should consult a specialist, because you may need surgery.

- If you hear a "crack" by stretching and pushing your fingers, you actually push a small pouch (sachet) into the joint area containing a protective fluid. As he changes position with your pressure, bubbles are released and the sound of "crack" is produced.

According to researchers, those who have the habit of stretching and then compressing the knuckles of their hands to hear the crack-crook do not have problems in these joints at a higher rate than those who never do that - so their "toy" does not seem to cause damage to the joints of the fingers.

- If you hear a strange sound every time you move your thumb to your palm, you may need local healing for the tendon. If the pain is at the base of the thumb and is accompanied by acute pain, it may be arthritis.

- 10% of people hear "click" and "crack" from his jaw. If you do not feel pain, it is not worrying. But if you are in pain, there may be a problem with the joint.
