There are three basic possibilities here;
-it could be something as simple as bubbles in the sinovial fluid popping, much like "cracking your knuckles";
-it could be something called "patello-femoral syndrome," in which the kneecap doesn't track straight. (If left untreated, PFS can cause serious damage to your knee/knee cartilage. Fortunately, PFS is easily corrected by learning and performing the proper exercises);
-or it could be symptomatic of something worse, like torn cartilage or the early stages of osteoarthritis.
If your knees snap and pop a lot, you should have them checked out by a qualified rheumatologist, especially if there's any pain or nausea involved; the pain caused by torn/damaged cartilage has a certain nauseating quality.
If it is torn/damaged cartilage, try working with a qualified rheumatologist and physical therapist before opting for arthroscopic surgery. Torn cartilage can be regenerated by up to 50% through physical therapy. However, once it is re-sected/removed by an orthopedic surgeon, it can't be repaired or replaced.
(A recently published study proved arthroscopic surgery does more harm than good in the majority of cases. Despite this, many orthopedic surgeons will try to talk you into having arthroscopic surgery anyway, because it's how they make their living.)
Before you trust an orthopedic surgeon with your life and future mobility, make sure you consult a qualified rheumatologist first!

Where is the bursa located?
Bursae are small fluid-filled sacs located throughout the body near joints. They help provide cushioning and reduce friction between bones, tendons, and muscles during movement. Some common locations include the shoulder, elbow, knee, and hip joints.
Fluid in the knee can it cause gane green?
Fluid in the knee, known as knee effusion, is typically not associated with gangrene. Gangrene is a serious condition caused by a lack of blood supply to tissues, leading to tissue death. However, if the fluid in the knee is infected (septic arthritis), it could potentially lead to tissue necrosis and gangrene if left untreated.

It depends on what type of stroke you do. like breststroke isn't good for your knees, but all the other stroke are fine for your knees.

Jogging, jump aerobics and stairclimbers should be avoided; bicycling depends upon the intensity of the stroke.
Why do knee creak without pain?
It is very common for the knee to make funny noises as it moves. If there is no pain associated with it, it is nothing to worry about.

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]
