Brief Answer:
Ostheoartritis possible.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I think the popping sounds you are having one of your knees may be related to ostheoartritis .
I think you should visit a rheumatologist or do a x-ray of the joint for evaluation.
Better limit the excessive movement ,put it at rest use anti-inflammatory drugs if you have pain.

Hope I have answered the question .
Let me know if I can assist you further.
