Knee clicking - painful after sports
Discussion
Ok, bit of an odd question, but my right knee has been bad for a while now, and seems to be getting worse. I have developed a loud clicking noise in it, that seems worse after a game of football, but it isn't painful when it clicks. However it does ache when I'm sat with it bent, and it needs to "click" to relive the pain!
Who is the best person to go & see? Doctor first, or Physiotherapist? Any thoughts on what the injury is?
Reading through various medical sites a torn cartalidge seems to be the favorite at the moment?

Yep it does sound like cartilage I had the same thing 15 years ago, constant clicking with no pain. It turned out to be torn cartilage getting trapped in the knee joint
I had an Arthroscopy and they snipped the offending piece off.
Just had this myself. Been off work for 3 months and going back to work tommorow, though this was due to fluid not going down on my knee but I had exactly the same issue, clicking and sometimes knee lock into place for a micro second and then when it freed itself it was a sharp pain. Cartilage kept on getting caught in the movement of the knee. I had an Arthroscopy and they snipped the offending piece off.
