Concerns with my knee.

I don't know if any of you had the same problem. I am an active runner with some knee concerns..it sounds like plastic inside when i try to bend/extend..I did see my doctor about it a year ago and she told me if its not hurting then just to leave it be..I'm thinking runner's knee..but not quite sure. It doesn't hurt, but can be sensitive sometimes. I'm thinking about going back and mentioning that I'm concerned but just wanted to know if this is common with runners to be having problems with bones and it sounds like its more of a bone issue rather then joints/muscle..

    I have the same weird clicky sound in my knee, especially when I bend down. I actually just did a squat to see if it sounds like plastic and yep! (It actually sounded like it might just fall off) I have heard many things about it, I was a little concerned but since it doesn't hurt I just let it be. I have heard a lot that it's from running, I've heard cartilage wear as well. Someone said to try Glucocamine with added fish oil, which would probably help with the joint. I have yet to try that but I have fish oil so I made it that far at least. Good luck!
