    My doctor also told me about 4 years ago that the "crunching" in my knee was due to "mild" arthritis. I had very little pain and just some intermittent tightness so I ignored it at her suggestion. No investigations were done.
    Now I can't extend my knee (it always has about a 10 degree bend) and it is chronically swollen and my gait is affected. I have less pain now than I did 4 years ago.
    Anyway my advice would be not to ignore it based on lack of pain. It could still progress. I would at least get an Xray to check for OA.
    (I have a new doctor.)
