You need to do some independent research online about arthritis. From what you explain, I don’t think you have much to worry about. Are you a bit overweight? That could be the reason your legs fall asleep. Personally, I’ve been a bit inactive for the past couple months and gaining a little weight and I’ve started to notice my legs fall asleep even if I’m sitting one leg over the other (i’m your age as well).
As for the cracking noises, nothing too much to worry about…it’s normal. Make sure your diet has a lot of calcium (you may even want to start taking multivitamins…talk to your doc) and prolly the MOST important thing…..exerciseeee!!! To prevent osteoporosis and other bone related conditions, it’s recommended that you do weight bearing exercises…the earlier you start, the more preventative it is for you.
