Hello,
If there is history of locking of knee i.e. sometimes you are unable to move your knee even on your will and there is block of movement, then I shall advise you to consult to your orthopedic doctor.In this case you may need a MRI to rule out injury or tear of your meniscus (a soft pad in knee). Loose bodies can also do this.The tablet Movon P is just a analgesic, it relives pain and inflammation.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
