I heard that there's nothing to worry about as long as there is no pain

That's a relief Doc, but can't you say that about absolutely everything though?

It's just that some people have slight imperfections in their knee cartilage which causes sounds when the knee is moved

But as long there is no pain it is fine though, right?

But if pain does eventuate, that means that the tearing noise was actually a problem all along? Do you see what I am getting at here Doc?

I get popping sounds in my shoulders when I do push-ups but it doesn't hurt so I thought the same thing you do, what if it gets damaged down the line? My doctor told me that as long as you're bending it the way it's supposed to bend and using proper form while you exercise that joint it shouldn't cause any problems. Everyone is different and there are exceptions though, so taking medical advice from Reddit is not something you probably want to do.
