"Knee floaters": Sometimes injury or degeneration of bone or cartilage can cause a piece of bone or cartilage to break off and float in the joint space. This may not create any problems unless the loose body interferes with knee joint movement. The typical symptoms of loose bodies include knee pain and swelling, with intermittent locking or catching of the joint. You should see an orthopedic surgeon for evaluatio
