Hello,
Welcome at HCM.
I have read complete details of your question.
It looks from your details that most probably you may be having loose bodies in your knee.The loose bodies are part of the soft part of the knee or hard part of knee arising from structures with in knee.
These can also be due to inflection ,inflammation or other reasons.
These harm by rubbing over the soft & smooth articular surface of knee.
These bodies should be removed by arthroscopic or by open procedure.
You should consult to your orthopedic surgeon for this.
Hope this will help you.
With best wishes.
