What to do as self remedy for locked knee?? don't want to go to hospital. history of meniscus tears and had 2 arthoscopies already. ongoing problems

Locked: You should see an orthopedic doctor right away if your knee is truly locked. If it's just periodically catching you can try physical therapy. Both locking and catching are not good.
