Only just happened but when I walk you can hear a deep click? Like to bones are slipping into each other or something. OH says popping noise.

Not painful to walk but very annoying however if I walk with tensed legs it doesn't do it.

Also if I squat and rest my weight on my legs my knee hurts.

Squatting sessions have been fine, spotter says I look like I'm compensating for my knee when coming up but only minute.

OH thinks it's torn cartilage.

Can't get a doctors appointment until next week so I guess a&e is only option

I'm trying to hold put until tomorrow see if it's just a one off from sitting funny.
Maybe knee brace will help?

Hopefully nothing serious, but don't put much strain on it until checked out by GP or decent physio.
I thought I'd knackered my wrist attempting front squats using clean grip - pretty decent crack every time I flexed it. Physio I saw at lunchtime said nothing too much wrong; a little manipulation and it's still sore but stopped clicking.

PS. Ignore all advice from PH unless it's to see a professional. hehe

To summarise - you think you should go to A+E because your knee clicks?

No asking if anyone knows what I might have done, just missed that bit out.
However my local doctors seems to be the only doctors where you can't get same day appointments, they're all for a weeks time so my only option would be a&e which I'm trying to avoid.

If you're not in pain don't worry too much, just keep an eye on it. The clicking noise is just cartilage moving about.

I'm squatting Thursday but it's a deload session so light weights, I'll see how it goes from there.

Wouldn't be stubborn with a bad knee, only get two good ones.

I had a similar experience, described here http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
Saw the doc who sent me for an x ray, which looked ok, he suggested physio, I went to see a chiro who I use (who is actually a bit more knowledgable than anybody I have seen before) she diagnosed that the knee cap had been dislodged (can't remember if it was back or forward) any way she manipulated and suggested there could be a little ligament strain.
Still a little uncomfortable walking but cycling / rowing / leg work in the gym is fine.

You're getting old.

If it gives you grief, arrange to see the quack, strap it up (knee brace will do) and take some Ibuprofen.
