What Is Causing My Left Knee Pain?

I am a 29/F, 5 3 and about 170lbs. I have given birth to two children with no complications and have no significant medical history. For the last 6 months whenever I sit with my legs crossed for an extended period of time and I go to straighten my legs, I have significant pain and stiffness in my left knee. What could be causing this?

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Stiffness of the knee can result from poor posture.
I suggest :
-Switch sitting positions often.
-Avoid crossing your legs or ankles.
-Stand up frequently.
-Take short walks.

Hope my answer was helpful.

Kind regards!
