How To Prevent Popping Knee While Standing?

in recent times, my left knee pops when I first stand up. (there is really no pain, but it is kind of frightening) . Ater I kind of move it around, it stops popping and I can continue walking as if it never happened. What can I do to prevent this from happening?

Welcome to health care magic. Thank you for posting your question.

I went through the details. I can understand your concern.
This popping sensation of the knee occurs due to degenerative disease of the knee called osteoarthritis.

I would suggest you to avoid sitting on the floor , squatting , going up and down the stairs too often. These would worsen it.

I would also suggest you to get a standing X-Ray of your left knee both A-P and lateral view as soon as possible and visit an orthopedician. He/she can examine you and correlate clinically.

Do not worry.

Hope this helps.

Post any other question. We will be happy to help.
Have a nice day. Regards.
