What Treatment Is Suggested For Soreness In Left Knee?

Hi, my left knee has been sore for the past 2-3 months. It was sporadic and not consistent. Now it seems to be more consistent. It is sore at the top of the knee, towards the outside of the knee itself. When straightening it while sitting or walking, it pops or cracks. However, there is no pain in the cracking/popping. Is this reason for concern?
