A member asked:
My knee is locking up occasionally and i don't know what it is?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Knee locking: Whenever we hear patients have knee locking and difficulty completely bending or straightening, we think of either arthritis or perhaps a meniscus injury depending on the history and examination. This one you should see your pcp, sports med or orthopedic physician.
