Crepitus: Crepitation, or crepitus, refers to popping sounds that we hear in the joints in our body. There are several causes of crepitus, bone, bursitis, joint capsule, or tenosynovium. Usually, crepitus is nothing to worry about. However, if you develop severe pain or limitation of function, you can visit your doctor for a discussion. Google crepitus to learn more.

Knee noises: It's ok for your knees to have occasional cracking if un associated with pan or swelling .many times fullness is a sign of swelling. If the noises r related to bending your knees or kneeling ,squatting or going up and down stairs , u should have them checked
