How Do You Fix A Locked Knee?
I can t straighten my knee all the way and I cannot bear my entire weight on my knee. Also, the knee catches at the end of my stride and I cannot bear any weight on the heel strike of my stride when walking. The doctor referred me to PT but the first available appointment was 6 weeks out. I am using ibuprofen and using crutches to keep weight off it. What else can I do?
