Does anyone have issues with their knees popping? I feel them a lot while doing squats!! I rest it if it gets too bad. My trainer says that a lot of people get it and to use biofreeze. I know I didnt injure it while squatting, but I did feel it pop one day just walking. Since then it has been popping a lot and is a bit achy and a little swelled but not too bad. I will see my Dr. about it next week, but just wondered if anyone else has this issue.

    I'd see an ortho instead of your PCP

    I'v had pretty crummy knees since I was 17 and athletic. I was worried about my knees with squatting and they crack and pop like crazy, but they don't hurt. If yours hurt and they are swelling I'd definitely seek some qualified advice.... You don't want to risk your knees, for sure.

    I don't have "knee issues", but I do have some slight pain, if I don't warm up before doing squats.

    I suddenly got some knee pain out of nowhere (I usually don't have knee issues) and now I'm terrified. Don't mess around with your joints: get problems looked at.
