What Causes Pop In Knee When It Is Bent?
Ok, so I sprained my knee on Oct, 11th went the the hospital and all, said to go to my family doctor in 2 days, but since my mom works I can t go at all (I think) and Im really scared because I feel a hole by my knee and when I try bending my knee something pops out like a ball of fat right by the knee and that never happens when I do that. Well when I didn t have a sprained knee

Hello,
The popping sound in the knee can be related to a meniscus tear or that a small piece of loose cartilage is caught in the knee. You would most likely feel this kind of popping pain come and go. I suggest to do an X-ray of the knee or a CT scan for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
