A member asked:
I have a crunching sound in my right knee every time i bend it and its slightly painful. also there is a small dent in my knee cap, what could it be?

The "dent" in: your knee cap is very common and probably of NO significance...the "crunching" may be due to a foreign body (piece of cartilage) and it sounds like advanced imaging (MRI) may be indicated! Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
