Could be : There is a condition known as discoid meniscus in which the meniscus is misshapen an MRI could help diagnose. Most knee pain responds to exercise therapy. Some programs available on line sites like simplettherapy.Com. Discoid meniscus occasionally need surgery.

Meniscus tear : Absolutely. You do not need to play sports to get a meniscus tear. You can get it from squatting down awkwardly, twisting it on a stair etc. If your knee is locking and painful the most likely diagnosis is a meniscus year particularly if the pain is on the inside or outside of you knee at the knee joint not the knee cap. I would get your knee evaluated by an orthopaedist.
