Hello Prema Ji,

Knee locking and knee pain can happen due to several reasons, such as:

🔹 Meniscus Tear – A torn cartilage in the knee can get stuck, causing pain and difficulty in movement.
🔹 Ligament Injury – Damage to ligaments, such as ACL injuries, can lead to instability and locking.
🔹 Osteoarthritis – Wear and tear of knee joints can cause stiffness, pain, and locking, especially in older adults.

What You Can Do Now:

✅ Rest & Avoid Strain – Try not to put excess pressure on the knee.
✅ Apply Ice – This helps reduce swelling and pain. Use an ice pack for 15-20 minutes at a time.
✅ Gentle Knee Movements – If possible, try slow, controlled bending and straightening of the knee.
✅ Pain Relief Medication – Over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol or ibuprofen may help, but consult a doctor before use.
✅ Physiotherapy – Strengthening exercises guided by a physiotherapist can help in many cases.

Since you are unable to walk properly, we highly recommend seeing an orthopaedic doctor as soon as possible. An X-ray or MRI may be needed to diagnose the exact cause of the problem and provide the right treatment.

Please take care, and let us know if you need more guidance!

Wishing you a speedy recovery!
