Colicky joints

My 10 year old son is fit and active but his joints click a lot. Seems to be most of them eg knees, ankles, wrists etc.
Is this anything to be concerned about?

Could be hyper mobility?

Will look into that, by the way the post was supposed to say 'clicky' not 'colicky' damn auto correct.

I once mentioned to the GP the same issue with my DS. GP said it was nothing to worry about if it wasn't accompanied by pain/swelling/inflammation, etc.. FWIW I've also had clicky joints for as long as I can remember, and am generally fine.

Clicky joints alone are normal. Like Clock said, unless they're is pain, swelling or anything unusual, it's nothing to worry about. :)
