A member asked:

When i start to run my knee hurts a little the it will start to feel heavy and then will lock and pop and ache for about an hour?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See details: Then see an orthopedist and have the knee evaluated. It may simply be a tendinitis but other causes such as a tear must be considered if the knee truly locks.
