Instability: First you need to figure out if it's your kneecap or your shinbone(tibia) shifting on your thigh bone (femur). Patellar instability can be initially treated with pt and a brace. Knees with a torn anterior cruciate ligament will need surgery to stabilize.

Knee pops: Time to get it checked out with your orthopaedist. Any swelling involved? Does it collapse? Getting worse? Where is the pain if you have any?
