munchkin16 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I started noticing this weird clicking sound coming from the side of my knee when I did a plie this afternoon. Now it happens whenever I walk, is this normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy days Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 My eldest dd is a bundle of clicking bones, toes, hips, knee you name it. When she made me listen to her feet I whisked her straight to physio to get checked. All is ok, she's just a clicky person! I would however always get anything that worries you checked out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guesty Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Did the same with my dd and doc said the clicking is air between joints! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdance Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Usually If it's not painful I'd say it's not an issue but the fact that you've said it's the side of your knee and it has appeared today, and is now almost constant makes me slightly nervous. Rest overnight and see what it's doing tomorrow. If it's still clicking whenever you walk or do pretty much anything I'd get it checked out just to be sure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was what I thought, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anjuli_Bai Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Absolutely get it checked out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchkin16 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Thank you for the quick replies, I do also click everywhere but mostly hips and ankles, occasionally toes after pointe. This sounds different though, normally its more like a crack in my hips but this is a definite click down the edge of my knee and ankle. I know I should get it checked but it feels silly to go to the doctors for this! Supposed to be doing tae kwondo tomorrow at school, not sure if I'm just overeacting, it doesnt hurt...

I bet your doctor would rather you come in feeling silly than wait until something really goes wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thecatsmother Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Do you have a physio you could see. A lot of GP's not great with orthopaedic issues unless fractures. Apologies to those GP's that are.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchkin16 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 That is what made me hesitant about the doctor, last time I waited an hour to be told what I already knew! Dont have a physio that I know of but I could ask my osteopath? I Googled it and something called runners knee came up but its probably nothing, the constant sound is just disturbing!

2dancersmum Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Phone your doctors surgery and ask the receptionist what their procedure is for physio. In my area you don't need a referral but can just phone up for an appointment and it isn't a long wait either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
