Nothing: If you are not having trouble, you do not necessarily have to do anything. The most. Ommon cause of creaking in the knees is a softening of the cartilage underneath the knee cap known as chondromalacia, which if it is not causing trouble does not have to be treated. Thank you for your question.

Nothing: If there is no pain involved, it is probably nothing of consequence in a 22 year old.
