Consider: Taking an anti-inflammatory medicine like ibuprofen, when that occurs. If more frequent or preventing you from doing your daily activities, an exam & an MRI would help figure out cause. Consider no soda, fast food, bread or cakes. A 5-10% decrease in weight will help decrease stress on all your joints. Best of luck.

Knee pain: In female adolescents, anterior knee pain is usually patellofemoral syndrome. Check with your orthopedic surgeon if locking is a problem.
