Patella Tracking
Is this part of patella maltracking?
I developed patella maltracking from when I dislocated it in July. Due to losing my muscle from being on crutches and just the injury itself, my patella laterally tracks and visibly shifts when i extend my leg. If I bend my knee pass a certain point it cracks and pops on the outside part of my knee, not audible to anyone else, but I can feel it and hear it inside myself (kind of like eating crunchy cereal you are sure everyone can hear you chew but they dont)
Also, when having it bent for a long time, it feels like pressure is inside like someone has their hand over my knee
I had a mri which didnt not sure meniscus injury, which I know is common with popping noises.
Thanks! 
sure = show
Yeah, that could be from your patella.
It sounds like the popping in the patella slipping in and out of place as you bend your knee.
If you’re worried about it, go back to the doctor. Otherwise, you could end up with life long knee problems.
