What Causes A Popping Sound From Knee While Climbing Steps?

I was walking up steps and my Right knee popped (loudly).I went down and now have bad pain behind knee, both sides of knee cap and pain down my leg and in the bend at the top of my foot by my ankle. Pain in foot feels like when you hit your funny bone. Can't put weight on it and hurts about any way I hold/lay it. When I sit with feet on floor and move my toes , it hurts in my knee. ??? Tear?

Hi
Welcome to healthcare magic
After going through your query I think You are suffering from osteoarthritis of right knee joint as you had popped and pain is felt when you went down. You need further investigation by x ray of both knee joints in standing position. Analgesics such as diclofenac slow release tablets is helpful in pain relief. Diacerinre and glucosmine sulfate protect cartilage from breakdown and help in cartilage regeneration. Quadriceps exercises is started after pain relief. Serum vitamin D test is advised and if it is low than vitamin D supplementation will be required. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us . I will be happy to help you.
