Suggest Treatment For Soft Tissue Injury In Knee
Question: Sometimes after getting up from XXXXXXX Style Commode my kneecaps seem a bit locked and I cannot fully straighten my legs for some time. This has started happening from last December, when I was playing badminton regularly for 2-3 hours and putting pressure on my knee. Even while trying to climb steps two at a time, I sometimes feel kind of wobbly in the knees nowadays. I am an active person and walk about 2-3 kms per day.
