I've noticed a strange screeching sound near my knee joint whenever I fold my left leg. There's no pain, it's just in my left leg and it's kind of worrying me. What could be causing this?

Could be due to a condition called crepitus. This sound may be caused by the rubbing of irregular joint surfaces or soft tissues around the knee. To help reduce this sound, you can try taking Glucosamine and Chondroitin supplements. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief gel containing Diclofenac to the affected area. If the sound persists or if you experience any pain or swelling, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
