A member asked:
My surgeon says i have pseudolocking, intermittent acute anterior knee pain, occasional anteromedial pain . what does all that mean ?

Not sure: Your surgeon sounds like he has a creative sense of medical terminology. Not sure of what he means by pseudolocking. Your knee either locks or it doesn't. I guess he could be describing what he thinks is the perception of locking that you are describing. Long story short sounds like he is describing patellofemoral pain. Stretch hammies, strengthen quad, nsaids..Yada yada.
