Right knee locks up in my sleep. i sleep on my stomach usually and when this happens i need help to roll over onto my back. the pain is excruciating ?

Knee joint or muscl: The locking may be cartilage in the knee. Or could be muscular leg cramps. You will need an evaluation to be certain these is not an internal derangement of the knee
