Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are probably having early osteoarthritis of knee joints as you heard cracking sounds from knee. It can be confirmed by x ray both knees AP view in standing. Treatment of it is Diacerine and glucosamine. Quadriceps exercises are helpful is gaining muscle strength and pain relief. Analgesic such as ibuprofen is given for pain relief. You can discuss with your treating 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.
