Hi, when I walk around you can always here my bones/ joints clicking. you cant really hear it most of the times cos theres loads of other noise. However, during the evening different parts of my body give of this clicking sound, especially my feet and ankles. I wondered if this might be a sign of arthritis or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The clicking sound from the joints is just a normal variation and it does not mean that you are likely to have arthritis. As long as there is no pain associated with it, there is nothing to worry and no treatment or investigations are needed.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
