Q. What is the reason for my constant crackling in my left hip and swelling in my left knee?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

I understand your concern. I feel the popping or cracking sound could be some hip joint issue, maybe a kind of impingement, or sometimes even a weak glute strength may also result in a similar condition as the hip is subjected to overload, as in your case. I suggest you to follow a few instructions mentioned below.

1. Apply ice pack frequently on the gluteus and behind the knee.
2. Do gentle kneading over the glute buttocks muscles.
3. Practice gentle stretching of the buttocks, piriformis, and hamstrings.
4. Practice glute strengthening exercises gradually increase its stability and strength.

I hope this has helped you. Thank you.

Same symptoms doesn’t mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
