What Causes Pain And Difficulty In Straightening Knees?
I tripped and hit my knee (with a good amount of force) yesterday. It hurt really bad at first and when I tried to stand up my knee didn t want straighten so I laid on the floor a little longer until the pain eased up some. Today it is really bothering me. It is painful to bend or straighten my leg. Walking is difficult as well. The pain in directly on my knee cap and below. I have pins and needle feeling going down my leg. What do you think I could have done to my knee?
