A member asked:
Hi, it feels like a string is vibrating in my knee, like if your were to gently flick a guitar string. it happened randomly today, occurs every 5 seconds or so, it feels funny and is located at about the center-left of my knee right below my kneecap?

This sounds like a plica, a normal structure in the knee. Plucking sensations are not worrisome. If you have pain or difficulty bending or straightening the knee, and certainly if walking is affected, please see your doctor who may suggest referral.
