View List Detailed Description: I have never had knee problems before, but I started getting a popping or pain in the front of the knee, especially when I was taking stairs. Over the past year or two my knee really started "popping" when I took stairs. This hurt too, it wasn't just the sound but knee pain also to the point I was afraid to do it again. I can tell you what helped me eliminate this popping and hopefully this can help others. It turns out this was just weak from years of being lazy and sitting during my job, as I managed to get rid of it so I have proof thats what it was. I started walking on the treadmill, even jogging but mostly walking. At first the knee would even pop a little doing that, but I went slow for about 30 minutes and eventually it then went away so I could walk on the treadmill and jog without worrying about the popping or pain. It took about 4 months doing this 3 or 4 times a week. I eventually even went back to doing leg weights now and leg extensions with weights, and the knee popping is definitely gone now, I just need to keep up the workout and not let this deteriorate like that again. At this time I haven't had a knee pop in about 2 years now, amazing how it has helped. I finally realized that all the computer sitting and no exercise made my knee joints and legs weak. I only walk 3-4 times a week now and do leg weights, and actually look forward to doing it now because I know I'm keeping them strong rather then letting them return to the way they were.
