Guest guest Posted November 5, 2001 Report Share Posted November 5, 2001 Hello Andrew Guruji and the community members, My wife (age 36) has complained of sudden knee pain followed by a crackling sound in the knee (sounds like rattling of bones). This has been happening both in the left as well as the right knee for the last few days. If anyone has some ideas as to what this may be then please let us know.
