My knees sometimes lock and click back into place leaving me in severe pain. what could this be?

Subluxating patella: A thorough knee evaluation, radiographs, and perhaps an MRI with more clearly detail what is causing your symptoms. An unstable patella that moves in and out of joint (subluxation) is a common cause of insidious knee locking and clicking.
