Locking or Catching Sensations: If your knee feels like it’s “catching” or “locking” during movement, it may be a sign of structural problems that need evaluation and treatment. Loss of Range of Motion: A decrease in your knee’s range of motion, especially if accompanied by noises, should not be overlooked.
Is it better to rest or walk with knee pain?
If you’re suffering from arthritis or a minor knee injury, you should take care to treat pain flare-ups. Treating the pain when it happens can help manage it. Follow the “RICE” procedure — rest, ice, compression, elevation — to calm your knee pain. If your knee hurts, stop what you’re doing and rest.
