Why does my knee keep locking..?

Question

..it feels like a rubber and gets caught in between the knee bones and it gets stuck for a few frigtening seconds untill I can straighten my leg again.

It's happened maybe 10 to 15 times over the last ten years.

I've seen te doctor about it three times over the years, different ones.

First they said if it doesn't happen often it's OK, then the reason was because I was pregnant and so more bendy, then she just had a quick look and said it's fine.

I'm sure doctors take one look at my depression history and don't believe a word say.

Also my bones click a lot, my jaw gets stuck sometimes which is painful, my knees ache in the cold, even my hips click at times.

I saw a girl shocking people with her flexiility in a magazine.

I can do all of what she can.

I'd love to know what's really going on,

is this all normal and can anyone help?

Thank you x

It just happened to me about 5 minutes ago and it hadn't happened in years my mom says it because I don't eat enough but I know it is not because of that. I once lasted about three hours with my knee locked in position. It used to happen to me alot when I was younger. I got scared so I googled and found this article
