Knee Locking In a bent position, painful to straighten out?Over the last month or so my left knee occasionally (maybe 5 times total) will lock in a bent position and be very painful to straighten it out again, once I do it feels like my hip pops and my knee also pops, with pain staying in the outside of my knee for a few minutes after I straighten it out again.
Should this be something to be worried about? I had/have tendonitis in my left foot if that helps with anything.

It sounds like you have similar issues to what i have in my left knee. Go to a doctor and ask them if you have patellofemoral symdrome, it sounds just like it. To treat it you need physio to build your leg muscles and i promise the popping and locking will stop.
Good luck

I had a very similar recurring experience that turned out to be a genetic defect in my knee(s) and required surgery. We didn't realize it until the defect caused a meniscus tear - rather painful. I would definitely see an orthopedic doctor. It may be nothing, it may be serious. If it is serious, you're better off knowing so that you can take steps to prevent further injury.
Hi,I did the following:
Knee Injury, "The Locking Knee"
This is a torn cartilage that is locking and causing the knee to give way. It was filmed through and arthroscope prior to removal. To learn more see WWW.TOGCT.COM Alan M Reznik, MD
