Knee pain which gets worse the longer i keep them bent, until i have no choice but to straighten my legs, which is even more painful but relieves pain?

Uncertain: Since it is one knee it could be a cartilge problem. You will need an evaluation by a knee specialist like a rheumatologist or orthopedic surgeon. If surgery is recommended get a 2nd opinion from a rheuamtologist.You will need imaging and maybe even an MRI
