About a week ago my knee started hurting when i woke up. It wasn t bad but today, i woke up and i couldn t move it. it doesnt hurt it its bent slightly but i can t make it go straight. it isn t bruised or swollen (i don t think at least) and its a sharp pain. it feels like somethings being pulled. its very tight
Hello, This sounds more of the knee injury to the soft tissues internally. An MRI is advised. As the knee gets locked and doesn't release faster I think an MRI is a must to see the soft tissue alignment. Due to any ligament injury, it might happen. Ligament injury doesn't need only an acute Injury it can be even due to degenerative changes.  I will advise to hot water fermentation, use knee cap, do exercises like - static qua Chat Doctor.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In
