A member asked:

After going for a walk i feel little popping sensations n my thighs there is no pain & goes away after a few minutes why does this happen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

There are: Some mysteries which may remain unresoved; it may be muscle spasms or you may have a poor filtration for physical sensations. Popping that doesn't hurt, i wouldn't worry about. If it hurts or you can't walk, go see ur doc. Otherwise i would try not to think about it, honestly. Sorry couldn't b more helpful.
