Linda from Alberta asks: I have been diagnosed with RA and find my joints are making noises like cracking a knuckle. Is this normal or common?

Regardless of the reasons, noises coming from joints are usually not a concern, unless they are also associated with pain.  If you are having pain, you can discuss this with your rheumatology team to see if there is something more than needs to be investigated or treated.
