Hi about a week ago I was at a dance and I jumped high and landed and I felt a weird pop in my knee and I was still able to walk and run and do my regular excersises its just that my knee felt weird and now I am hearing some weird poping but I can still run and excersise like normal. I am going into the military and I seriously do not want this to be a problem any help would be much appreciated thank you

Hello dear user!
Welcome to HCM!

In most of the cases the knee injuries that come from the jumps are meniscus damages or ruptures. Since your symptoms are not severe but just a noise on your knee it doesn't seem to be so worrying.

In your case i would recommend to reduce the exercises for a period of time to give your knee the time to recover. You may have to use a knee bandage to protect from harmful movements.

If the concerns will persist for a long time have an appointment with you orthopedist.

Take care and all the best for you!
