Knee pain and cracking sound

IliN82

I have had this annoying knee pain for the last year which comes and goes. It's not too bad just a niggle more that anything and it makes this weird cracking noise when I walk too. The last couple of days though it seems to be getting worse but still not bad enough to make me want to stop exercising. I do boot camp style classes/weightlifting 3x a week and running on my off days (about 3.5 miles)
Is this something I need to go to the dr for, or is it just associated with running? It tends to go away while exercising when I am warmed up but returns after. Thanks!

Have you had the knee pain+crack checked out in the past? If not, definitely see a doctor about it. That sounds troublesome. If it's something you've had cleared by a doctor previously, just keep an eye on it; if it gets much worse, make an appointment.
