Knee Derangement: The knee has cartilage called the meniscus that can tear and make it difficult to flex and extend the knee. Fluid in the knee will also cause these symptoms. More severe ligament problems can also do this. OTC Advil or Aleve can help, take with food. See a doctor to get a diagnosis and get the knee back to normal use.
