Unable To Sit Cross Legged Any More
Hello ! I can t seem to be able to sit cross legged any more. My right hip will not permit my right leg to be close to parallel--maybe a 45 degree angle from the ground? How can I tell if it is arthritis or some other kind of joint stiffness... Thank you !

Hi,
If you are elderly then from history it seems that you might be having osteo-artheritis of hip or knee joint not allowing this movement.
Go for x-ray joint to know any artheritis changes.
Do back extension exercise and patellar exercise.
Ok and take care.
