When i lay or sit for while with legs bent. i go to get up & my knees hurt bad & lock up. takes about 30sec till pain goes away. what can this be?

Many Possibilities: This could be coming from your back like a herniated disk, but it also sounds like a primary knee issues since you mentioned they lock up. I would suggest being see by a musculoskeletal/spine specialist to evaluate these issues further.
