Knee popping noises?

London Posts: 176 Joined: 2003/01/10	2003/04/13, 05:49 PM I figure I should go see a doctor just in case, but have any of you experienced this? I'm not sure if I should be worried or not. If I'm sitting with my knees at about a 90 degree angle to the floor (like regular sitting position) and I raise my leg out straight my knee makes a popping noise like when you crack your kunckles and kinda hurts... I'm not sure if biking recently has caused this? Any help would be appreciated.

Both my knees kind of grind when I go up stairs, do squats etc. I used to play soccer with some guys from work and totally missed a tackle - basically our knees collided at a 90 degree angle. Since then I've had this. Used to get an ache but went to the doc and sent me for x-ray. Nothing major - just wear and tear and told it could stay the same or get worse. Now I'm just conscious of it but if it starts to hurt again back to the Doc i go. Thankfully, not at the point where I have to wear support tights! Lol. Now that would be a sight.
