Is clicking sound in knee a symptom of a serious condition?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am an 18-year-old. My right knee has a clicking sound without any pain. Please help me out of this. Is this symptom of any big disease? Tell me some things to cure this.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You have what sounds like Chondromalacia patella which in itself is not a major problem and is commonly seen in young adults who are still growing. You will need to do regular exercise of the knee and stretches of the hamstrings and most problems resolve once you stop growing. No need to get tensed up.

Thank you.
