What would cause the back of your knee to pop whenever you take a step with no pain whatsoever?
Popping and cracking noises in the knee are not unusual. If it's not accompanied by pain, it is probably not worth worrying about. Sometimes it's caused by the release of gases as the space between the two bones changes (the same phenomenon that causes your knuckles to crack or pop). Sometimes, it's caused by ligaments that rub or snap across a bone as it moves (like a rubber band snapping). [I'm a physical therapist--with arthritis]
