I've been hearing these cracking noises from my knees and ankles for a while now, and I was just brushing it off. But lately, I've started noticing the same sounds coming from my chest whenever I stretch, and I'm feeling some pain with it too. It's got me a bit concerned. Could this be something serious? What do you think might be going on?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with leg pain and swelling for the past year, and nothing seems to be helping. We've done all the tests the doctor recommended, like thyroid checks and X-rays, and they all came back negative. We even tried two months of massage and Ayurvedic treatment, but there's no improvement. The swelling and pain are so bad she can hardly walk. What do you suggest we do next?

Most leg pain results from wear and tear, overuse, or injuries in joints or bones or in muscles, ligaments, tendons or other soft tissues. Some types of leg pain can be traced to problems in your lower spine. Leg pain can also be caused by blood clots, varicose veins or poor circulation. .. . To relieve mild pain and swelling: Stay off your leg as much as possible, Apply an ice pack to the affected area for 15 to 20 minutes three times a day, Elevate your leg whenever you sit or lie down, Try over-the-counter pain relievers .
