Welcome to EmpowHER. This symptom is often a sign of a meniscus tear or a loose piece of cartilage within the joint. The torn meniscus or loose cartilage may catch in the knee as it moves back and forth causing a popping sensation. But, you need to discuss this with a doctor, you might need imaging test done such as X-rays or MRI. To know if it can also be a problem on your back.
