A member asked:
I can't bend or straighten my knee w/o it being very painful. it doesn't pop and i can do a squat without it hurting. this came out of no where. ?

See a doctor: If your knee is not swollen, the inability to straighten it completely or bend it means that something is physically blocking the joint. However, squatting involves bending so i wonder what you mean by "can't bend". There are a few possibilities but you will need to see a doctor.
