A member asked:
Catching at knee randomly then small popping sound... numbness right above knee... minimal to no pain happened after doing a large number of squats.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The most usual cause: of painless popping in the knee is when the ligaments and tendons catch as they move over a bony spot in the joint and pop when they snap back into place. Sometimes the catching and popping results from actual cartilage/meniscal damage. "A large number of squats" could contribute to this. The numbness may point to damage from injury as well. See a Sports Med specialist/Orthopedist for evaluation.
