well an MRI is the only for sure way to tell where the tear is. sometimes where the tear is you can feel it click. since it is locking so much you most likely will need surgery. only thing with a tear you usually only have pain on one side not both so get that MRI. the meniscus surgery is super easy you can walk within a week.
