What Does Severe Pain In The Right Knee Indicate?
I’ve been having severe right knee pain for 3weeks. Once I stand, I can walk, but knee does not bend while walking. To sit, I must coax knee to bend - very painful. Once sitting or in bed, knee movement seems normal. Driving - cannot do long distances ... entire leg becomes very painful. Into foot .... pain then also lower right side of my back.

Avoid sitting cross legged. You need analgesic as Aceclofenac and knee supplement as Chondroitin Sulphate and Glucosamine. You can use cane while walking in order to relieve strain on knee.
