Are there exercises that will help the knee back into alignment?
Patient: I was wondering if you could help me? I was kneeling down for about 10 minutes and when I went to stand up i couldn t straighten my right knee. I feel like my patellar tendon is stuck and needs to pop. I feel medial and lateral pain on the anterior side. Are there any exercises that will help to get my knee back into alignment or do I need to go see an orthopaedist? Doctor: Hello,Some warm packs on the knee coupled with ibuprofen or diclofenac gel locally will help improve your situation. Some light physical exercise like flexion and extension of the knee initially will  help improve your situation. If your situation does not improve, consulting with a physiotherapist will be needed.Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
