I am 25 y.o. female and overweight. I have recently (3-4 days ago) noticed a very soft crunching sound, like when you crunch a soft plastic bag, coming from my knee when I raise my right leg and and lock it. There is no pain or discomforg whatsoever, even after my 40-45 mins of brisk morning walk. There's no swelling or discoloration either. This is only in my right knee, left is fine. What could this be? Is it dangerous?

I have no family history of arthritis and I don't have any health problem based on my latest half yearly blood work and other diagnostic tests that I have to do for my work.

    I'm sorry for the awful typos. My keyboard is acting crazy. I have a 'crunchy' sound in my knee, not 'crungy', if anyone was confused.

    I have it in my left knee (not my TKR knee). Doctor told me it was arthritis. If that's what you are starting to get make sure you strengthen that knee. Do a lot of stretching and strengthening on a daily basis.
