Sudden onset knee pain?

I was born with bad knees, runs in the family. Besides a few falls on my right knee and occasional knee pain randomly, not much pain. However, a couple days ago I began experiencing a pain in both knees around the kneecap (and to the sides). My legs feel weak and stiff when I bend them, and now they ache solely by elevation and straightening them out.

Last night, I heard a loud pop in my right knee as well as a rush of pain, leg trembling, and inability to stand or bend my knee (fold it in).

I don't want to rush to the ER or doctor if not necessary.

Today, currently, my knees both hurt in the same place and same way. A tight, gripping stiffness, with some burning sensation.

Also, I don't know if this is connected, but there's also a coldness and pain in my right foot, its been hurting alongside my right knee pain this whole time. (Also lots of crackling, popping and grinding feeling in knee, this is usual, but it seems worse)
