Problems with joints, redness

Hi there,

I have been having issues with my knees already for three years. Initially, I had some popping sound in my right knee (with no pain whatsoever) which then also occurred in my left knee. After some time, the same thing started happening to my elbows. Regarding the sound in the knees, every time I bend my knees there is this loud 'popping' sound as well as sound of... joints rubbing off each other if it makes sense? Every time I do squats, the joints pop and rub so badly, I have no idea what to think.

There is no pain but occasional redness, which I do not have often but every now and then. I suspected that it could have been RA or something similar but then I did lots of blood tests and most of inflammatory markets were negative (my doctor said it was fine). But then I did an X-ray of my right knee, and it confirmed that there was some damage to the tendon.

I have no idea what the problem is and not sure what doctor I should go to. I went to several rheumatologists, but then they did not say much. Any ideas what I should do?

Thanks
