A member asked:
Why do my knees make a popping sound when i straighten my leg out after having my legs bent for a short period of time? is this a bad sign?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NOT NECESSARILY: This is a sound from HEALTHY CARTILAGES in your knees and is of no importance UNLESS you are experiencing PAIN, SWELLING, LOCKING,or BUCKLING >If any of those symptoms exist ..see an ORTHOPEDIC SPECIALIST! Hope this helps! Dr Z
