What Causes The Inability To Bend My Knee While Walking?

I am unable to bend my knee completely when walking giving me a twist in my gait. I have had an MRI which shows arthritis of the patella and a bone spur. My doctor says there is a weakness in the muscle but I have completed PT and the overall I did gain strength but the abrupt twist when my knee starts to bend is still there with no change. Doctor also said illiotibial band tight but I also completed exercises for this with no change to the abrupt twist as the knee begins to bend.

Hello,

The causes of pain below ribs are:

1. Sprain
2. Overuse
3. Injury
4. Blunt trauma
5. Osteoarthritis
6. Runner's knee
7. Ligament injury

For that, you can take tablet Brufen. Apply diclofenac gel or cream. Also, apply ice locally and do x- ray chest.

Treatment mainly depends upon underlying conditions. Kindly follow with detailed history or consult with orthopedician.
