i stretch out my leg to lie down or to stretch and i feel it come apart in my knee..i dunno what it is. I think it's b/c in high school, i would pop them on purpose, and it's cuasing them to grind together now. i feel 'stiff' in my knee if i don't move around. is this 'alright' will it get worse? cause arithritis? let me know.

When your knuckles knees and toes pop...its because there is air trapped in there...the poping you hear is just the air being squeezed out. It can irritate your joints somewhat but doesnt really do any real damage. If your joints are stiff and you are having trouble moving them i would consult my doctor and see what they think...arthiritis doesnt really fit into any age group...anyone can have it. Hope this helps.

2 common causes are plica syndrome and discoid meniscus
neither needs treatment unless fully symptomatic.

just like when you crack your knuckles; you create an air bubble between the the joints- which can cause arthitesis; which you may have
