Pulling in knee sensation

Quick question... has anyone had a weird pulling in the knee type sensation when walking? It doesn't hurt just pulling. I haven't had an injury and I haven't been exercising recently. I want to start again but I'm worried about this pulling in the knee. Anyone have this and know what it is?

    See a doctor. Better safe than sorry. My husband is just getting through dealing with a torn meniscus that started off with his knee feeling only a bit weird. A lot of times such injuries start out with small amounts of discomfort that people tend to dismiss.

    i don't think every weird feeling requires seeing a doctor. If it doesn't hurt, keep walking but pay attention to it may go away or if it starts to get worse you can think about a doctor.

    i am not you and honestly, there isn't any way for people to guess what's causing yours by the internet. but to answer your question just as it stands: yes, i've had 'weird pulling' knee stuff.

    in my case it's typically caused by a new attempt to become a runner. my quads and tfl/i.t. bands always seem to go nuts, and walking is strange for a couple of weeks afterwards until they settle down.
