What Is The Cause And Treatment For Knee Pain With Crackling Sound?
Hi doctor.i am 36 years old and recently having pain in my left knee. I hear also crackling sounds when I walk or squat down. Is this caused by my weight? I am 164cm and weigh 76kg. Is there any medication to alleviate the pain? Your advice will be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
You can certainly try glucosamine, ibuprofen or acetaminophen if you are having pain but the cracking sound is often from cartilage damage. It is best for you to see a doctor and get an exam if the pain is severe. Losing weight always helps to decrease knee pain.
