Specializes in Neurology

Knee issue: Would recommend a supportive knee brace, and an MRI of the knee itself. It could be a mensical problem. See the orthopedist.

A member asked:

Why does my knee lock up when I bend it? If I bend it any more than what is needed for walking, and sometimes less, it locks up, I can't straighten it out, and the pain is terrible. I have to lay on my side, and push my leg backwards to unlock it?
