Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are having medial meniscus injury to your knee as you are locking your knee. It can be confirmed by MRI of your knee. Its treatment in case of minor tear is rest and quadriceps exercises. Analgesic such as ibuprofen is given for pain relief. You may require arthroscopic meniscectomy if not relieved by exercises and medicine treatment. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. You can also write to me directly on below link:
