WELCOME TO HEALTHCAREMAGIC
There are semicircular cartilages between long bones (Femur and Tibia). They work as shock absorbers. In your age, any tear can cause popping sound and difficulty walking.
You need to consult Orthopedics and get MRI to confirm the extent of tear. If there is a tear surgical repair will resolve the problem.
