What Causes Air In Knee Joint Causing Pain While Walking?
I hurt my knee last week running. It popped, I couldn t walk on it without limping. I wrapped it with an ace bandage for a few days and it seemed better until I bent it and it popped again. It feels like air in my knee and it s uncomfortable. What is it?

hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough clinical examination is advised.
as you had a Popping kind of feeling along with limping I suspect this to be a ligament sprain. For this a thorough clinical examination is advised.
As due to ligament injury there will be pain and limping is the indication of the same. undergoing physical therapy to regain the ROM and strengthel of the muscles.
In my clinical practice such cases respond well to physical therapy
