    Are you seeing a physiotherapist at the moment? They may be good for a first port of call?

    If not, I think I would personally contact my GP and seek a professional opinion.

    It is wise to always please bear the limitations of a forum in mind! As stated on this forum:

    "We want the forums to be a useful resource for our users but it is important to remember that the forums are not moderated or reviewed by doctors and so you should not rely on opinions or advice given by other users in respect of any healthcare matters.

    This is a great forum but all we have is our personal experience so it's very limited in that way. Someone else might have a similar experience they can share and a perspective, but if you are worried the best thing to do is seek a thorough investigation and consult with a professional.

    Advances, setbacks, plateaus...all part of the process.  Talk to your PT about the locking.  It will resolve but you may need more help especially if a piece of scar tissue broke away and is interfering with your bend.  The pros have to make a decision on that.
