Crepitus: Crepitus is a medical term to describe the grating, crackling or popping sounds and sensations experienced under the skin and joints or a crackling sensation. This can be heard with generalized inflammation, or osteoarthritis, rheumatoid, fractures, etc. If this continues, get you knee checked out. Best wishes.
