What Causes Knee Pain While Sitting For A While?
My knees hurt when I straighten them from sitting indian style. Also when sitting on the couch and I stand to walk they can be wobbly and feel like they could snap and I could fall. Several times when getting out of the car from driving I about fell and caught myself. There is no knee pain when walking or exercising. They stiff when in one position for awhile. Thank you!

hi,
since you mentioned your history I will recommend to just get one MRI of the knee done which will help us to check any soft tissue damage which is not able to unlock the knee mechanism. Biomechanics of the knee is a different and difficult process to understand. So while deciding any treatment plan we need to know the exact cause of the restriction in the mechanism.
well, checking up with a physical therapist will help input some change of exercises so the biomechanics of the knee is maintained. Also, you can try performing reverse walking and strenthen the hip muscles.
personal experience of mine with patients have made me help their biomechanics better with resolving their symptoms. Understanding the actual lag in the biomechanics can be helped to you by an MRI and a physical examination.
with the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery
