Knee Disorders: My knee joint has been acting weird and is wondering if it is serious?


My knee joint has been acting weird and is wondering if it is serious?Ok for about a month or so my knee joint hasn't been popping , technically. Its hard to explain but when u pop a joint u would feel it and then some kind of a relief. Well when i move my leg up and down i feel the joint sliding from the other and i hear the movement of the joint but never a pop . It hasn't ever popped since then and i was experiencing trouble putting my leg straight. It would hurt as if there was something stopping it from being straight. This is happening to only 1 of my legs. Is this ok?

go to an orthopedist to be evaluated

No Its not okay. Click sensation might provide you a temporary relief, but don't do that. It could chip away the cartilage inside and could trouble you when you put pressure on the knee.

Best would be to look for an orthopaedic doctor and get referral to a PT. PT would be best to advice you on the exercise to strengthen the knees. CLick might be caused due to weak quad. Improve your quads and the click would go away. Best take advice from doctor and PT.

One other important thing is that you have to regualrly do the exercise suggest by the PT, its in your hands.

Good luck with you
