An inability to bend to knees can be part of nerve compression at lumbar spine levels and further consequences of the pathology. Primary relief with: - heating pad application - local application of analgesic spray or ointment containing camphor or menthol, diclofenac etc. - adapting postural changes to provoke comfort of nerve issues - assisted physiotherapy with experts Once a consultation with ortho surgeon and MRI of the spine as per the requirement would be the final curative path to the issue.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
