Unable To Straighten Knee Fully. Had Meniscus Surgeries. Recommendations?

I am unable to straighten my knee fully. Had two meniscus surgeries. I went to step and then I couldn t seem to hold my weight and am using crutches to get around. any ideas? I thought possibly it may be dislocated. I am a 44 year old male and was told that I am too young for a knee replacement . currently I have no insurance and don t know what to do! David

Hi:
