Hello,
The symptoms are suggestive of a condition called locked knee. It is due to entrapment of minor objects in the knee joint.
Consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.
Sometimes you might require an arthroscopic repair.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
