Knee clicking.

[Webbo2]

Recently my right knee has started clicking when I stand up to pedal. At first I thought it was shoe and pedal but it’s not. I don’t get any pain although I have issues with that knee a few years ago so still do the exercises I was given at the time.
Should I be worried as is seems quite loud unless the noise is just an echo through my body.

Why not get it checked out by your GP or a physio?

I would see a physio. Quite often tendons can click and clunk, but a physio could tell you. Be prepared for a long wait if it's via the GP then referral to a physio.

Seek the advice of a suitably qualified medical professional. Or an osteopath.

I believe you can self refer to your local hospital's physio. Still a long wait and will probably just result in some exercises. But at least you can have an opportunity to talk with somebody.

That's a new one - I was seeing the physio (referred by GP) for my hip last year, and by the time I got there, my hip was OK (I'd paid for private physio) but mentioned my shoulder had a torn rotator cuff. So physio had to go back to GP and get a referral from GP. Maybe it's different in your Trust.

Go see a physio, they'll tell you it's arthritis
I got the same, I know it's my age (confirmed by xrays)
There are exercises that help if it gets sore.

Better than ours - You can be referred by your GP, first contact practitioners and the Orthopaedic Assessment Service. We need to go into see a GP or First Contact Practitioner. - Then you go on the waiting list. Takes about 3 months in my case last year.
