What Could Be The Popping In The Knee With No Pain?
I am a 34 yr.old male who's been weight lifting for 21 years. About 6 months ago I started getting a slight popping sensation behind my right knee, I would just ignore it ( it wasn't that painful, just annoying). Now it's developed into a larger popping, especially when doing squats. My knee feels stable, so I don't think it's a tendon issue and the pain is localized to the back of my knee. I never had any swelling or bruising; maybe a cartilidge issue? Any ideas.

Hello,
I have studied your case.
As per your age and history there is possibility of soft tissue injury in knee.
Most commonly meniscus injury occurs.
And MRI may miss meniscus tear,diagnostic arthroscopy can help and cure the problem.
As per your symptoms you need to do physiotherapy and knee exercises to improve range of motion .
Small meniscus tear can be managed conservatively with physiotherapy with USG andTENS.
Meniscus injury can be managed by arthroscopic repair,and same day you can go home.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
