I am a 39 year old female and recently I have begun to notice an audible pop and feeling of something popping at the top of my right leg. It does not hurt, but I am afraid it might develop into something worse. What could it be?

 Hi Sedalia,
The popping you are experiencing may be a tendon that is "tight" and is popping over a bony prominence or other structure.
Another possibility is that your joint may be catching a bit and popping.
Both of these are harmless for the most part. I would recommend you talk with your doctor about this the next time you are in and have your leg evaluated to be sure everything is OK.
Best wishes.
