Sounds more like OA than RD? You may have a bit of loose cartilage - even a bit the size of a grain of sand can apparently get in the way of the smooth running of the knee joint, cause it to give way suddenly or lock in one position.

I have OA in both knees and they are always giving way especially if I have walked (well staggered on crutches) for too long. The only thing that eases my pain is tramadol but I only take this when it becomes really unbearable as my GP said to be careful with it. I also use a tens machine which eases it for a while and warm gel pads I also find warm water helps (I use the hydrotherapy pool at the hospital) Nothing really takes it away completely and I cant get new knees because as the consultant said "Too Fat" (such a pleasant man "NOT!") Can you get some physio on it and maybe ask for hydrotherapy sessions this might ease it a bit. Hope you get some help soon. Gentle hugs Joolz.x

Sounds as if he missed a bit when it was washed out! Not surprising when you think they do it with an arthroscope and it is a bit like the proverbial needle in the haystack.
