What happens when your ankles and knees crack?

240 views

I recently had surgery on my ankle and have started walking again. I find when I stretch or move it, it cracks and pops a lot more then it ever did before. This doesn’t cause pain, and sometimes even feels nice, but what makes the noise?

Is there any way to stop the cracking tho? My ankles crack heaps and its a bit annoying.

Like doing some stretching would help?

Is it repeatable? If it’s something where you can make a sound every time you flex your ankle, that isn’t gas in the joint, it’s tendons flicking over something.
