I reccomend cutting back on your running, or buying new running shoes. I was starting to have Knee problems, and so i took the summer off from running. I started back up again with no problem.

the knee is located in the middle of a series of biochemical joints. there's probably a problem with your running shoes or the way you run. prevention is better than a cure. ice it whenever it hurts.
oh, and try not to pop it to see if it still hurts that can't be good.

Marcsv,
I doubt that this is caused by an ACL injury; more likely it is an early tenosynovitis, or Pes Anserinus Bursitis.
ACL injury usually causes a sensation of instability.

you could be right. Although she did not mention any inflamation, she did mention the state of her knee stability.
any way here are the symptoms of Tenosynovitis:
causes pain, tenderness, and swelling of the affected area, and also stiffness of the joint which is moved by the tendon. It may just last a few days, but in some cases can go on for many weeks or even months
and for Goosefoot (Pes Anserine) bursitis of the knee:
Pain and tenderness on the inside of your knee, just about two inches below the joint, are two of the symptoms of pes anserine bursitis of the knee. The pes anserine bursa is a small lubricating sac located between the shinbone (tibia) and three tendons of the hamstrings muscle at the inside of the knee.

Feels like it is going to pop, and worse when you stand up from a sitting position?
Classic presentation of a mesiscus tear.
The menisci (one meniscus, two menisci) are fibrocartilaginous pads between the femoral condyles and the tibial plateau (i.e. shock absorbers between the thigh and shin.) Excessive and continual impact, abnormal twisting, or a combination of shock-impact and torsional force can cause a tear to appear, and this tear is usually flap shaped, producing a 'pop' sensation when the knee is extended (as in standing up.)
Depending on the extent of the tear, surgery is quick and easy (often in the 45 minute range as an outpatient) and rehab is about three-four weeks.
See an orthopedic surgeon for treatment. In the meantime, rest, ice, and start popping ibuprofen.
Best,

Have you ever banged you knee against something? if so it may be the fluid seeping under the kneecap causing it to feel that way, all i can suggest is to massage the kneecap(by moving side to side, up and down etc.) to loosen it up and get the fluid out from underneath it.

Your knee could just be cramping up. Try stretching it a different way.

I have the same issue as you, the knee feels like it's going to pop when I stand up from sitting for a while or while I'm in the car driving and trying to push in the clutch.
I grew up as a runner and and by doing so damaged my meniscus. It is thinner on one side than it is on the other and gases build up in the "pocket". Sometimes I straighten my leg and hear + feel and pop. This is the gases being released. I know all this because I was part of a study on knees run by the School of Medicine at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA).
To help with issue I always ice for about 10min after running and really stretch and warm up my knee before I start running. It does seem to help. Another key assistant is good running shoes. If you run a lot or use you running shoes as every day knock around shoes then I would suggest buying new shoes every 4-6 months. I know that sounds too often but if you can afford it you will quickly see a difference. You see, running shoes take a lot of abuse and break down quickly so buy insoles can help but usually they need replaced after 6 months of so.
You may not suffer from the same injury but if you really want piece of mind go see an MD.
Hope this helps.
