Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There are multiple possibilities for knee popping. You should try and recall any unusual knee trauma. Tear in meniscus can cause popping so can patellar tendonitis. Resting, ice, and compression can help but eventually you should get advanced imaging if conservative therapy does not help.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
