Arthritis is painful inflammation and stiffness of the joints. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis in the knee. It is a degenerative," wear-and-tear" type of arthritis that occurs most often in people 50 years of age and older, but may occur in younger people, too. In osteoarthritis, the cartilage in the knee joint gradually wears away causing pain. You need to be evaluated by a doctor to determine exactly what you have. The knee locking could involve a meniscus tear. Again, you would need to see a doctor to find this out.
