It feels like my knee is locked up, what can i do to unlock it without any pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Determine the cause: If the knee truly locks the cause is likely to be either a meniscal tear or advanced arthritis. See an orthopedist or rheumatologist to determine the cause of the locking.
