How Can Severe Weakness In The Knees Be Treated?
I hit my arthritic right knee on a metal shelf right below the kneecap three weeks ago. The next day I couldn t walk on it. I iced it and rested the leg. Saw doctor two days after injury, and they told me to do tbe RICE treatment. Gradually, as time has passed and resting the knee, I can put my full weight on injured knee. It just has been a long healing process. I have been stretching the calf muscle and trying to get strengrh back in my leg. Is there any exercises I can do to get more strength back in my knee?
