What Causes Pain While Bending The Knee With Stiffness?
I got up from my recliner and my knee would not bend and was painful. I attempted to walk, but only with a stiff leg. It had swelling on top of my knee and behind my knee. I have not injured it, what could have happened. That was two days ago. thanks in advance for your assistance

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
It seems that you had a muscle pull.Take proper rest. Hot fomentation and application of pain relieving gel will give you some relief in pain.
You can take pain killer like Ibuprofen one tablet twice a day after meals withantacid Omeprazole 20 mg along with muscle relaxant like chloraxazone. This will relax the sprained muscles.If the pain persists, get yourself examinned by your doctor
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
