Hello,
Welcome at HCM.

Clicking sound at knee should not be assumed abnormal until unless it is associated with pain.This may be a early sign of arthritis but it is not necessary.Clicking sound at knee can also be due to snapping of tendon at the knee.

You should take preparation of glucosamine & do quadriceps exercises of knee-
