Physical therapy.: Being 26 and female, you're in the classic group that gets this type of a problem. It's generally related to the tracking of your kneecaps. It can be improved, or corrected altogether, with anti-inflammatory medication and physical therapy. See a non-orthopedic sports medicine specialist, who can get you going in the right direction.

See an osteopath dr: If you have a history of flat feet, this indicates that you may benefit from orthotics support. This means arch support that you can get otc. It may be best to get a second opinion from an osteopathic physician, who can do an osteopathic structural examination of your back's hips legs and knees, feet, as often both feet and low back is involved with knee pain, cracking at any age. S/he can treat you too.
