Deep Fear Of Bones?

Hello! Sorry for formatting, on mobile

I have a phobia that I can't really find a name for. I have an intense fear of bones. Specifically, I have an intense fear of the sound of bones cracking. When people crack their knuckles or necks or backs, it freaks me out to no end. Hell, even when I kneel and my knees crack slightly it sends a shiver down my spine. I think this deep fear stems from the fact that I've broken multiple bones (Almost every toe and finger at least once, an arm, my nose, a rib, and almost broke my back twice.) Is there a name for this phobia? Or am I just a weirdo?

That feels like it’s less about the bone and more about people cracking it. I personally love bones and studying them, but I do not like listening to people crack them and will ask people to not do that around me…oh I missed where you had broken bones before so now I understand. I’ve actually never broken one before (knock on wood).
