What Causes Stiffness In Legs Post Knee Replacement?

I have two artificial knees which have worked out well. All of a sudden I had a hard time straightening my leg when I use the stairs. It also is painful when I bend down to pick something up. If I move my leg to the side it doesn t hurt as much. I does not hurt when I am walking. I did not fall or injure myself in any way.
