Several : Several things can be causing your problem. The most common factors include a meniscal tear, loose bodies in your knee, flaps of cartilage impinging on motion and even pathologic plicas. Your condition is likely surgical based on your description of problems.

Meniscus tear.: You may have a meniscus tear or a loose body floating around in the knee joint. See an orthopedic knee specialist for evaluation.
