Probably comes under the umbrella term - Crepitus.

Mam, thanks for the link, just had a read of, sounds about right.
If it is painless and your knee is not swollen, then it is no big deal and doesn't require a visit to your GP.
As you get older, small tears of the cartilage or lack of smoothness causes the noise that you hear.....as the post above indicates....crepitus.

See what happens over the next few months.


Not Decrepitus then?

Cheers sqad, did think it was an age problem, If I put pressure on the back of my leg, just above the knee and then bend it don't happen at all, or sit well back in a chair.
