Whats wrong with my knee?
Last night I was weight training and my knee popped violently and hurt like hell. I was able to walk off the pain and it continued to pop but it didn't hurt. This morning when I was coming down the stairs, every step it would pop. It still doesn't hurt but the popping sound is just getting annoying. I am able to slide my knee cap around on the knee that is popping more so than the other. I don't think I dislocated my patella because I would think that would hurt.
Again, it doesn't hurt and I have a full range of motion just the popping sound is getting on my nerves.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Is there swelling?
You are right you didn't dislocate your patella.
It sounds like you tore a meniscus. That explains the loud pop and how it hurt really bad when it popped. You would still have ROM, and it would pop. BUT you would still be hurting some. Unless you have a semi high pain tolerance.
