What Causes Popping Air Bubble In Knee?
So lately sometimes my knee will just ache/hurt or feels like there s an air bubble in it. Sometimes if I pop it the air bubble feeling goes away. It doesn t always hurt but sometimes it does. When I walk up and down stairs my knee will hurt. I m a klutz so I do trip/fall a lot. When ever I run or do much on my knee it hurts. Also it will pop and crack a lot. This happened a lot last year and then went away for awhile and it s came back. And when I sit down sometimes for awhile it ll start to hurt.

Hello,
It looks that you may be suffering from early arthritis of knee. Cracking pain, especially during up-stair or down-stair climb are typical symptoms for that. I will advise you following to have relief:
1. Get a X-ray of affected knee so that stage of your arthritis can be ruled out
2. Take a good analgesic like aspirin,paracetamol or ibuprofen
3. Do warm fomentation over affected area
4. Do quadriceps strengthening exercises. You may learn this from your physiotherapist
5. Take some joint supplements like glucosamine, chondroitin or collagen preparations.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
