Hi , and Welcome!

I have occasional ³clicking sensation² It does seem to happen when I have

overdone something or am tired. I don¹t associate it with any part of my

walk but will try to pay attention the next time it happens.

Peace,

Jackie

Hi and Jackie, Yes, I have a " clicking " sensation. So has my friend

. You can't hear it, but you feel it. I was told that it never goes away.

I notice it most when I am walking around the house. When I am busy outdoors, I

don't notice it. Sometimes it clicks more often, and I feel like the Tin Man,

but most of the time I ignore it.

All the best, Joan

I've been paying attention lately and it seems that the clicking is worse when I

get up in the AM and after I've been sitting at the computer or in my chair

knitting or something. When I get up, it is pretty " clicky " . But if I have a

really active day, it seems to go away. Like today, I watched my grandson for 4

hours. He is 9 months old, so I spend a lot of time chasing, lifting &

carrying. The clicking goes away until I sit down for a while again. So it

seems lack of activity causes it for me. Tin Man...good description!
