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.

Answered by Dr. Atul Prakash

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.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
