Suggest Remedy For Pain In Knee After Bilateral Knee Replacement Surgery

I had bilateral knee replacements 10 yrs ago. This morning I woke up and my left knee was hurting, I thought I had slept wrong. When I left to go to lunch I could not bend my leg to get into the car without much pain. Now when I stand up and walk it feels almost as if it is catching on something and is painful. It has never done this before.
