Hello, Welcome to Ask a doctor services. I have read your query.
Difficulty in bending the knee is commonly due to trauma, injury, overuse, patellofemoral pain syndrome, arthritis OA, etc.
Do stretching & strenghting exercises. Rest your knee, Keep it elevated on a stool while sitting & on a pillow while sleeping. Wrap it, take NSAIDS for relieve.
Severe backpain radiating to the leg is indicaive of sciatica. Othermedical conditions associated with such symptom are spinal stenosis, slipped disc & muscle strain.
You are suggested to get clinically examined by an orthopaedics, get Blood tests (for OA, RA, etc), Nerve Conduction tests & Imaging tests done. Your treatment will depend on the pathology detected & the severity of your clinical symptoms.
Take vitamin B1 & B12 rich food or supplements. Hope I have answered your question. Take care.
