A member asked:

My knee sometimes when im in a stand still position locks when i try to lift my leg and bend it im 5 months will this go away?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Knee locks: This locking suggests internal knee disorder such as a torn cartilage. The diagnosis would have to be made by both an examination by an orthopedic surgeon and an MRI of the knee.
