Do your knees creak or grind when you move them?

They grind, and I'm 29.
They also pop. I just twist a little and they pop easily.
I'm an active person.

It has nothing to do with abuse.

It probably has to do with the normal breakdown of the meniscus in your knee.

Im fairly active and I never get this...but I am only 20!

I'm active and my knees creak and pop and they can sometimes hurt.

I have weak knees. It runs in the family.

I'm moderately active, and my knees don't grind. Every so often I'll catch one of them grinding, but it's very rare.

sometimes my knees make interesting little sounds

My mom is pretty active and has been for a long while and she has got rheumatoid arthritis in both knees - it does have to do with the more you use the joints...... She used an over the counter anti-inflamatory until it got so bad she had to get a prescription and sometime next year she will have to have a total knee replacement on the left. But she has alot of pain....so I don't know...arthritis is painful...

I'm moderately active, but I actually only have problems with my left knee which is probably a result of the hairline fracture I received after a minibike accident as a teenager. I have arthritis and the knee tends to pop when I over do (carrying too heavy a load such as a lot of library books) or when the weather is cold and damp. When the weather is that way my knee throbs like a bad tooth. When the knee pops it is painful. I have no problems with my right knee.

they don't creak or grind but they are painfull when moved in certain ways (trying to do the twist especially is hellish). Just started taking glucosamine for lack of anything better as I had a bone scan, fearing arthritis, but nothing was found.

Yes, they pop and sometimes hurt and I'm really not an active person.
I have problems with my hands but they don't pop, just hurt (but I'm really active with my hands, typing, playing, I even get tendinitis because of it).

My right knee is a mess.............Torn cartilages both sides (removed) when someone presses their finger tips against it and I extend my leg it sounds awful

I'm not very active, but my knees are fine.

I'm not very active and my knees creak and pop and I rarely have painful knees.
I'm 35.

Feel fortunate...I'm (almost) 25 and this is happening to me, I'd say I'm pretty active. I don't go running or biking, but I'm on my feet, up and down a ladder for 40 hrs a week. Sometimes, when I kneel down, I'll feel a really sharp pain in my knee

*Oh yeah, and I think my knee went out of place once, not sure, b/c I myself didn't have to re-set it, I think it went back in on it's own.

Other: I'm active and my knees sometimes pop, but never grind, hurt or creak. I'm 42, and I'm pretty sure that this sort of thing is simply a sign of aging.

Oh, and I also make the "old man noise" when I stand up.

No. Try glucosamine

As I stated, I'm active and have grinding painless knees.
I can't imagine it is good in the long run.
For the last week I have been trying Glucosamine every day. No noticeable difference yet.
Has anyone tried things that have worked?

I'm active and my knees are fine.
I an sometimes get them to pop i I do a deep knee bend, but that's on purpose.

My right knee cracks more than my left, but it doesn't cause me any pain at all.
I had a problem with the medial meniscus on my left knee a few months back. It was a hassle to drive to work and I had to wear a knee strap for a few days until things loosened up again.

And of course, I didn't miss the opportunity when asked why I was limping of replying, "Oh don't mind me, I've got a strap on".

sometimes

They did, until I started taking a one a day specifically for joint health.
