May have...: Several mechanical issues: partially torn meniscus. A joint mouse, or growing fragment of cartilage that usually hides in recesses, but can surface between the joint and cause equsite pain. Because your problem has happened only twice and goes away, I am not inclined to think you have an inflammatory arthritis. Aother cause: synovial plica, a synovial fold that gets pinched. Pain inhibits motion!

Torn meniscus: Could be a torn medial meniscus probably should get it checked out.
