This comes from someone who has treated orthopaedic problems . It sounds {w/out physical exam} You may have a tear in your meniscus{cartiledge}. Usually this clicking also is folowed by some type of discomfort.
Other possible cause;early stage osteoarthrittis.
Either way get an exam by an ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON!

Loose tendons and ligaments. Perhaps some damage in the past? Seek a trained physcial therapist or exercise specialist and get the muscles back in shape. They could be unbalanced. Also the professional can determine if an orthpedic specialist should be consulted.....that wouldn't be a bad start either.

My knee clicks. I have a back back. 4 of my lower
discs are out of whack. This is causing my
syatic(sp?) nerve to pull on my hip and knee cap.
That is what is causing my knee to click. Go see a
doctor as soon as you can. The pain could be from
loss of cartledge around your knee or arthiritis(sp?).

Knee injuries are the toughest to overcome so you really want to get it checked out asap.
Are you experiencing pain? If so check with an orthopedic surgeon.
What is your current level of activity? If you are very active you may want to slow it down a bit.
Remember to always listen to your body--it will tell you when it needs help.
Good luck to you!

My mother had this problem and it was osteoarthritis. Go to a doctor before it gets any worse, she let it go for a long time and is now in alot of pain.

you should probably go see a doctor for that. your joints are rubbing together to create the constant clicking.
