If I bend my right knee like that, my meniscus slips into the joint and I can't stand up anymore. I usually can bend my knee to make it slip out again but luckily I managed to avoid the knee-lock thing for years at this point. Avoiding it is sometimes awkward as bending the knee fully is part of many every-day tasks like getting up from sitting on the ground but so far it's manageable.

I tried to manage around the pain and avoided certain activities or suffered for years until my wife decided enough was enough. We found a surgeon who was willing to treat it and so far, I'm happy but I've got some recovery to do yet
