Dr. David will be covering 5 common reasons you can't bend your knee.
Many people suffering from knee pain lose motion in their knee. Sometimes it's from knee arthritis, a meniscus tear, a knee ligament injury, knee cartilage damage, and other times it's just plain old knee swelling.

Here's the video about how to fix your knee alignment:
“How To Fix Inner Knee Pain In 2 Minutes”
ruclips.net/video/kFLmU4ZHYV4/видео.html
Thank you
My left leg does not move. It has to be kept straight all the time. In this situation my normal life is disturbed.but here there is no pain in my knee. I can't bending my left knee. Probably the patella in my left leg is just above the knee joint which I think is the patella alta. I need treatment. In such a situation which doctor can I consult.??
please reply...
Hello from malta
I am close to 86 but very active and feel otherwise much younger 😅, appreciate your advices. Is there a possibility of a knee replacement being an option. Hi from Gunter in Johannesburg
😊😊😊😊😊😊😅😅you 😅😅you you 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
I have watched many RUclips knees doctors show and explain how to fix but none of them can explain and demonstrate like you, your explaining so easy to understand and your demonstrate so easy to follow and I fixed both of my knees because of you doctor, thank you so much. I have live in pains for 3 months and every God damn doctor in Florida only subscribed medicine to help the pains but did not tell you what to do. Again, thank you so much for these videos and helping me get back on my feet. GREAT DOCTOR. GOD BLESS YOU.
Hey John, we're happy that you're benefitting from our videos and demonstrations!! 😊
Sorry you've been in pain for 3 months now...yes most doctors are trying to do their best with what they know. They usually know medications VERY well, so that's what they recommend.
I am 56 and just got my right knee total knee replacement I’m 3 weeks post op and best choice I made! Already my pain is less than before surgery and my leg is straight finally. Getting left one done soon! Lots of pain after surgery but no regrets! Getting my life back :)
So true. Everybody says its age and i always wondered . But i ended up with meniscus tear and early arthritis at 65. But your video gives me hope
1/2/2023
Dear Dr. El Paso,
I hear some of your presentations on RUclips. You are very honest and trying to help many people.
I do have osteo arthritis in my knees, I am 72 years old and am learning many things from you to manage my situation.
Thanks a lot for your advise on many problems in this area.
Nageswara Rao, Ph.D.
I'm a 30 year old who has just been diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis a month before my wedding, 2 months before long flights to and from our honeymoon. My range of motion in knee and hip is appalling, has been for 6 months, and no one is able to help me with exercises until June. All I have is RUclips and videos like yours. Going to do my best by myself to get myself out of this but it feels like a really really high mountain to get over.
God I feel the same way 😢😢
God me too 😢
Me too

This video has finally addressed every answer I have been looking for about my knee. My hope has been restored, and I now feel like an action plan will work! Thank you! 🙏
Hey LB! Glad to hear it! Keep us updated on your improvements!
You are by far one of the most professional, compassionate and insightful experts I have ever seen. Thank you for doing this. It has been a huge help. I recently experienced knee pain following a 9 hour flight I was in business class, so had a great seat but the air pressure change is considerable. When I landed, I started limping and over the next three weeks it got worse. Could this be enough pressure to cause a meniscus issue or perhaps make a mild issue worse?
Hey @iamirish, so sorry to hear that you developed knee pain after your flight :-( it is not likely that you developed a new meniscus injury. It is possible however that your shin bone has shifted on your thigh bone and is not in the right alignment anymore. There are a few exercises that may be beneficial for this. Here are some links to some videos that may help:

We're glad that you're liking our video so far TiffiT.! Thanks for subscribing and watching!!!
hi Annemie from France, I m 74 my 2 knees are done..so had IRM s seein a specialist in january, supposd He talk about replacements, which I want to avoid...something wrong with my muniscus...just had a fall walking my dog, ..had a hip replaced, that was easy results are fine...I had car accident on my 21...result, right ankle / foot is now not hearting anymore, now & again, but as a result my other leg had to do a lot more work,as ankle is almost blocked...so I ll just found your videos,..will certainly do exercices you propose☺
You’ve been so helpful my continuous knee issues since meniscus injury.
My doctor is stating that I have minimal osteoarthritis and minimal lipping of the MCL and bone spurring however, I have constant knee pain. I’m in pain medicine now but my knee feels stiff everyday and it clicks when I walk AND I’m walking with a limp. I am 53 and worked out when the injury initially occurred on that day. This just all started feb 25, 2023. I over did it on that day. The Orthopedic surgeon now wants to do an MRI on my back. No one is able to help me with the swelling and loss of motion.
Carlsbad Caverns - cool! I wrote a poem about my visit there many many years back. One knee slowly got to where standing for a time was uncomfortable. But then I fell at home and the leg was forced to bend more than I could have bent it and that really ignited pain. Your videos with exercises are really helping me - working on the glutes, slowly building in heel raises, and such. I always thought the knee problem was more or less cartilage - that knee has a lump to one side which I thought was cartilage. It started in my mid-60's. Thanks for those exercise suggestions.
Thank you Dr. David as always 🙏
This video is so timely for me.
I had a fall 3 days ago and tried to lift myself from the floor putting pressure on my left deformed knee.
Within an hour my knee became very swollen and stiff so I could not walk.
I am applying an Aurveda herbal paste to reduce the swelling and took Diaclofenec for the pain. The pain radiated upto my shin too.
I am much better now and able to walk a little with my walking stick.
With my multi joint deformity after 20yrs RA condition, this was a setback. I was making good progress this year, improved my knee joint mobility and am using the tips and exercises in your videos. Coincidentally after the fall i got relieved from the inflamation in my left hip area. Maybe the autoimmune cells attacking my hip rushed to the rescue of my injured knee. An RA response?🤔
I am doing your exercises to tighten my glutes to help my hip joint.
my Angel's must have inspired you to make this video just when I needed it most. Thank you Dr. David...you are a jewel.
Blessings to you and your family.🙌
Oh no Eugenia! Sorry that you had a fall :-(
It sounds like it was a bad one.
We're glad that our video was helpful for you! Please get stronger so your balance can improve!!!

Hi, I am from Australia and I appreciate it and thank you very much. You been explained so good I’m good bless you thank you again
Hey Faiek! You're very welcome! Glad you found us!
Trouble bending knee. No arthritis. Solar panels gave me a flare up. Autoimmune mixed Undifferentiated disconnective tissue, lupus, severe muscle joint pain from immunizations, SJS-TENS medication reactions , many falls, and a severe trauma to my knee.
Left knee pain medial anterior and posterior bursitis
😊Tibial shift and how to heal a meniscus tear videoed helped immensely with pain but if I'm off my pain meds lupus meds and Prednisone I have debilitating pain and extremely limited ROM range of motion. If I'm on all my pain meds LUPUS, CNS, I have better range of motion but I have to rest ice compress elevate and exercise as tolerated.
Your videos are extremely helpful.
My prayer is complete recovery

USE OF JUVEN DRINK MIX FOR WOUND HEALING as my leg had to stay wrapped and I thought to nutritionally support wound healing from the inside out. High protein balanced protein+ carb fruits veggies+ amino acids+ healthy fats collagen supportive diet is what has worked best
9 months of this but since I found your videos, I am making slow but steady

Hey Mystie, so sorry to hear that you are going through so much! Especially at such a young age! :( We are glad that the tibial shift and meniscus tear videos helped! It sounds like a lot of your issues are coming from the other conditions such as the Lupus. Medical management of these issues is tough. If you have not recently discussed this with a medical doctor it may be advisable.
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy thank you for responding. Yes a lot of it was my other medical conditions. I am getting those under control and am now able to work more on my knee. Thank you
GODBLESS you Dr David youare so good physiotherapis im enjoying watching your Chanel it help me a lot thank you so much from Canada

Thank you for the advise. We follow your suggestions. I tore my meniscus in 2016. Workman's comp Dr sent me to back to work with a brace after an xray showed nothing. I kept working but my pain only became worse and I finally got an MRI which showed medical meniscus tear and osteoarthritis. I had surgery. They ended up removing 90% of the meniscus and removing material from the hard cartilage. This made my knee lose range of motion worse even after two separate 8 week programs of physical therapy. I have a strong tolerance for pain but I think works against me. Therapist cound not get my knee to gain range a motion. I even let 2 of them to try and push but the knee would not budge. Now my left knee feels like I have a miniscus tear and osteoarthritis as well but I don't want to get surgery out of fear of them making it worse. Knees hurt from standing still the most. I do food deliveries now because it's the only thing I can tolerate now. I do physical work on my ranch but at the end of they day I end up throbbing so bad that I lose sleep. I'm trying to use a stationary bike and see if I can smooth out my knees.
Hey Stefano! We are so sorry to hear about the difficult position your knee meniscus tear and osteoarthritis has put you in :-( A very important component in your recovery, aside from the exercises, will be strategically and methodically offloading your knee whenever it's possible. This might mean using a walker or a cane every now and then, or having a seat with more frequency as a way to take a break from being on your feet too much. Now, the exercises will be crucial in getting you better. Here is a playlist with several videos that could be useful to get started:

hey, how are you now? can you walk now?
Thanks Dr El Paso. You certainly clarify my problem-unable to bend my knee. I went to see a Orthopedic for assessment and X-ray. Although my knee is losing cartilage, but stated I have osteoarthritis. I went to therapy and learned that my problem also included unable to bend knee. Where r you located?
Thank you so much Doc. For the very helpful info. I wish I can visit your clinic but I’m so far away, I’m in Switzerland..Thank so so much for your time, your advice.😊🙏❤️

Hello from Grace jn New Jersey and thank you for all the valuable help.. Following your instructions.. You are awesome.
Sir I am listening to you my knee are very bad can't bend real painful all the time ,you was kind to send me vedioes sometimes which I appreciated very to let you know I have to do the knee replacement ,I am 74 from Trinidad west indies, I always watch your vedioes which explains things very simple,thank you.
Sit on chair, your heel on another chair in front of you. Place a weight on the knee, start with two kilo and just sit. I'm using a pillow case filled with three kilos of rice. I sit for about ten minutes twice a day.
Hi Doc David, thanks again for your advices. At least we slowly understand why our joints are swollen, stiff & sometimes not bendable. It happened to me a lot but with your help I could do my everyday chores. I remember I could not do one step. The pain was awful. I thought I will get stuck in the wheelchair forever. With your help and diet plan of other doctors help me start walking again. Can you imagine a person that didn't move for more than a month shoveling snow yesterday? We got 50 cm of snow the other day here in Toronto . Thank you Sir for your help. Take care! God bless. 🙏❤😊
Hey Teresita! We're sooooo happy you're back to being active and healthy again!!!

I wasn't able to walk or sleep for 8 weeks and all the Dr's. Here in Florida can't figured why, I went to Dominican Republic to see Drs. There and it's turn out to be my lower back. Please see my comments above.
Didn't want a knee replacement 5 y ago. Lost weight and started strength training, not my knees) nothing wrong after a year, then pandemic comes and i let go. The last year after i fell backwards i woke up to a knee lock. Have been seeing fisio and medicine, i keep on watching your and other videos. I have started an exercise, sit on chair, heel on another chair in front of me and place a 3kg bag of rice on the knee. I'm stretching the ligaments and it feels like I'm winning.

Thank you and God bless. Mary
🙏🙏🙏 sounds so painful 😢
❤Well it was painful to hear but the truth... thanks for saying that we need to stop looking at knee pain videos and address the weight issue...#RECEIVEDANDTHANKS
I had a welding table collapse on me the edge of the heavy table hit both of my knees in the 90s. Dr.Schneeburger pulled out cartridge and smoothed it over. Now 2021 I experienced unable to bend. My bone hurt all the way down to my foot. I took myself off NSAIDs, realized they were causing more pain. I am taking garlic and turmeric. I am having body fevers at night for weeks. I am able to bend it now. I am still having body sweats. My bone is feeling better. I think I had bone infection.
Whoa Nadine! That sounds like you did have a joint or bone infection! Glad you're doing better now! Hopefully you can get back to 100% ASAP!!!
Thank you for the brilliant video Never heard anyone else talk about knee locking , this happened to me whilst stretching & had to get hospitalized. I at the same time had severe sciatica - such a bad &sad state of affairs, 😢wish I had known how to fix the knee alignment then but even the osteopath wasn't able to help as it happened in his practice the second time( when I made a side ways movement) the pain 20/10.only strong opioids helped. Now I don't have a lot of pain,am able to bend /straighten my knee but I think the sciatic is still there no pain but numbness under foot in the 2small toes & in the lateral aspect of calf. Any suggestions how to overcome this?
I’ve not had any pain until about three months ago. No pain in front of knee, but in back of the knee, in the crease when you bend or attempt to bend. I can’t stomp my left leg, but no problems in the right. Never been diagnosed with arthritis.
I have same issue with you. Whats the solution?

A small meniscus tear, with a bakers cyst with extreme pain behind my knee & calf i dont want the cortsone shot that my Dr. Is recommended.
Hey Debbie, we're so sorry to hear that you've been with extreme pain from a meniscus tear with a baker's cyst!

I had a car that had offset pedals, so it put pressure on the inside of my right knee, I had to stop driving it because whenever I drove my pain became intense, when I saw a Dr he implied my knee was due to my weight, I disabused him of that idea!
Hey Melanie! Good thing you stopped driving that car! Weight usually only needs to be the priority when it's over 60-70 pounds. Before that, it's usually possible to get strong enough to over-compensate the weight.
My car has this issue… so I can only drive with two feet now.
I’m 32 and my knee will not bend. I was diagnosed with MS at the age of 13. I walk with a limp and have to use a cane. My hip is weak as well.
Knee is swollen and can't bend without pain. I am 79 and have both rheumatoid and osteoarthritis
Hi from Georgia. I’m 86 have pain in my knee. Not so much around knee cap. But below knee. What causes this?

Dbl torn meniscus. Had stem cell.
Severe osteoarthritis, and a popliteal cyst. :(.

GLUTES!!!! YES, DON'T FORGET THE GLUTES!!!!
I'm just 22 and suffering from severe knee osteoarthritis.
Was told i have bad arthritis. My left knee is locked cant bend it. Back in 74 i had meniscus removed inside of the left knee
Hi Doc. You didnt mention less common causes like saphenous nerve damage after back surgery. Painful inner knee and calf make walking difficult. Is it ok to walk and bend the knee as much as possible? TY
Hey Robert! Thank you for adding these less common points in. We do have a video all about the saphenous nerve here:
“Inner Knee Pain From The Saphenous Nerve - How To Find And Treat It”

Bending your knees as much as possible when walking is not adviseable. In fact, Dr. David made a video about how to best walk for knee pain right here:
“Does Walking Help Knee Pain?”
ruclips.net/video/3ttv66it9x4/видео.html
You didn't mention hamstrings. Can that cause knee pain?
I like u r videos
Thank you Vasu!!!
How can I heal dislocated kneefor 20 years please Doctor can you answerthe best way that I can fix my pain on my knee
Broke my tibia, I’m at 7 weeks, wearing a T brace, cane, Physical Therapy! Can’t bend leg, doing exercise at home too! Yes, X-rays, I’m 66
Im 67 female and have this. My home exercises keep it strong enough but cant bend well as stated. I walk like tin man in morning till I stretch, helps 50%. Please get water therapy at local Physical Therapy. 90 degree water really loosens up joint and can bend alot better. I take 2 Relafen a day and Voltaren - but with pool therapy , I can go down to Tylenol. Imagine that!! Its from the pool. I do Spring/ Fall therapy and try swim with kids at town pool in Summer. I find no better help.
What about knees that have always popped and make noise? I have always had knees that never seemed to be 100% but I could still have full ROM, no pain, or swelling. I saw squatting outside picking flowers for about 10-15 minutes.. it’s been 2 months and I can’t squat, lack full ROM, stiff, and feels like my knee wants to pop out.
Hope u see this question. Can a knee alignment problem cause a meniscus tear? I was operated on left knee in 2016 for a meniscus tear. Just discovered I have another one after 2 flares last year. I also have a horizontal tear in right knee after a fall on cement in Feb 2020. PT has helped but not lasting. I use a walker most days

Swollen knee can’t bend and pain when walking,I’m 91 next month a young un for my age but no knee bend is worse problem you are good so I will take note thanks
I was taking a very heavy garbage bin off the deck and down the stairs and pulled a muscle on the back off my knee. I have had constant knee pain ever since. It has been over a month now. Will it ever get better and what should I be doing. I have tried your leg swings but that hasn’t helped. I beg for a solution.
My mum has that chronic kneel pain , she is 63 and one of the leg is bending this is for 2years now
Hello
I fell years ago and ALL of my weight was caught by my right knee. I hit so hard it ripped a hole in my jeans! The doctor said it seems like the cartilage is crushed. I cannot get on my knees. Hurts on stairs and if bent too much. It's probably been 10 years! Will weight loss help? I want to lift weights again but it's so painful.
I broke my femur which went into the knee area, I cant bend my knee, and after an MUA, I got pain in my knee...no arthritis
Hey bowler8, sorry to hear about your knee pain. That's great that you don't have arthritis. If the fracture went into the knee joint, then you could have permanent changes in your knee mobility and motion. It is also possible that you have a shifted tibia. We talk about that in this video:

Would using a stationary bike with very little tension help with knee pain?
Hey Venita! Stationary bike might or might not be helpful for your knees even with little tension. You must make your glutes work rather than your quads on the front of your thighs. If you cannot get your glutes to work, then it will be harmful for you in the long term.

I forgot to tell that I am 65 yrs old and this problem with my leg at night only happens when I change my side to right i.e. my problem leg becomes on the top of other leg. Even keepingthe pillow in between doesnt help.
Hey Naureen, sorry to hear about your knee problem at night. It sounds like your knee is very irritated since it still hurts even with the pillow. You might have a knee shift too. That's why it could hurt when you lay the problem leg on top of the other leg. We speak about it in this video:

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thanks alot for answering! My knee pain is outside of knee,not inside. Dr.David I wish you consider starting paid on line video consultations too. That will be a blessing for so many people around the world. Thanks
Hi, I have a sever pain in my right knee and it goes down with the leg, the pain is like in the leg bone.
Pain on the inside of right knee hurts to bend and stand to long and to sleep. But when I put the athletic tape on properly the pain is not so bad.
Very cool that you get relief with the athletic tape. That means that something about changing the pressures helps your right knee. There's a good chance then that you have a muscle imbalance and addressing it would help your knee.
Recently had xray showing partial bone on bone at inside of R knee. Can walk with a little limp but noticed lately raising R leg to get in truck causes knee pain when bending knee up stepping into truck. Also after about an hour and a half the knee hurts on outside of knee, behind and down the side of leg? PS am 72 just retired.
I’m having trouble with straightening and swelling superiorly. Had to wear an unloader brace at work today.
Hey Deadeye! Sorry to hear about your swelling in your knee and having to wear and unloader brace at work today :-(

We hope that you find relief soon. We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress. 🧡
I can straighten my right knee ok but bending back much less than 90 hurts after being on it for a few hours. Looks like some slight swelling also. About 12 years ago I hyper extended the knee but nothing was torn just stretched and I went through therapy and the knee tightened up fine and has been fine until February.

Aloha from Maui Hawai'i
Im a 32 yr old female i was diagnosed when i was 2. The meds ive taken helped at the time but never stopped the progression of the disease/ damage. Currently im dealing with a knee issue. My right knee wont bend more than (90 degrees? Idk) when im sitting in a chair and my feet are flat on floor.when I need to bend it further it wont allow it and its insanely painful. The inside side hurts and then i get a jabbing pain in the top of my knee. Like my knee cap is being pushed into muscle idk thats just what it feels like. I got stuck in bed bcause i couldnt bend it. Its very annoying and frustrating and painful.
Kirti here. I am 75. I have chronic arthritis. For nearly a year my knees have become stiff and I can’t bend them. I walk with tracking sticks. I walk like a robot.
