Anybody know what this means?

if I said I know anything. Just a sympathetic note to say that when I get on a stationary bike I start real slow and feel the stretching of everything related to ankles, knees, expecially knees. After a few minutes I can increase speed and go up onto my toes and feel a little furthur stretch. I don't know what is going on but if I miss these stretches for a couple of days it feels like my knees will "lock-up" and will pop and crack when forced past the restricted range of motion. I also do gentle head rolls as I spin on the bike. This is for a clicking of some sort in the neck, not solely tightness. If you try stretches, I know that you will start small and gentle. Good Luck, Ken in Texas.
