How can I handle crackling in joints?

Hey Sebastian,

Having dealt with depression all of my life (I'm 70 y/o), I can tell you that in my case at least, it's treatable. It started when I was 19.

I took up long-distance running at age 30, and that really helped depression to decrease dramatically. It doesn't have to be running. Any type of exercise that gets your heart going should help.

Exercise and stretching will also likely help with the popping and cracking. Most of the time, the sound is just the release of gas trapped between bones - think of cracking your knuckles. Again, exercise and especially stretching should minimize some of that, although from what you describe, a trip to your doctor is warranted.

Hope this helps!

Joe

Thank you very much.

I know my depression to be treatable. And my future is getting better and better.

I am really looking into making work-out a big part of life. Making it a grand project of mine will be a next big step.

Also I will mention my cracking the next time I see my doctor, and also explain the situation - and what you have told me to him.

Thank you very much, and all best wishes both now and forwards
Sincerely,
Sebastian
