A member asked:
My knee keeps cracking and it feels like its popping out of place... what is going on with my knee?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ligamentous laxity: A joint may 'Crack' with arthritis (loss of cartilage in a joint) or may be related to a ligament sprain (stretching of a ligament) or ligament tear/rupture. The 'popping out of place' sounds like you may have a ligament problem. You should see an Orthopedic Surgeon and have an MRI and full examination to get a proper diagnosis and treatment of your problem
