A repetitive click or clunk is usually indicative of a small underlying cartilage tear. As I understand it, a little flap tear is what causes a click and a clunk is a slightly bigger defect. There isn't much you can do about it. You can often have small meniscus tears and they won't bother you much other than the clicks. Might be worth getting referred through to see a consultant and get an MRI done, but no idea how that's going to work at the moment.
I developed a distinctive almost metallic sounding click when going down stairs a few weeks back - no pain just a click. Thought it was buckle or a popper for a while until it twigged that it was my knee. Now I know what it is underneath! Thanks.
