When i go down the stairs, it sounds like something is ripping (kind of like velcro), and when i touch it while going down, i can feel something.16yrs?

More info please!: What sounds like ripping? What part of the body? does it only happen with stairs, or does it happen with other activities? Is there pain, or is it just annoying? How long has it been going on? What about it worries you most? Hope that helps. Thanks.
