A member asked:

Hello doctor, i have a problem to related my knee bones they always doing a strange creaking sound. what i do.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually nothing: If you are having audible noises from your knees but it does not cause you pain, swelling, restriction in motion, instability and/or difficulty weight bearing, then nothing needs to be done. Otherwise, you should see an orthopedist or a sports medicine physician.
