How do you fix a locked knee?
Patient: I can t straighten my knee all the way and I cannot bear my entire weight on my knee. Also, the knee catches at the end of my stride and I cannot bear any weight on the heel strike of my stride when walking. The doctor referred me to PT but the first available appointment was 6 weeks out. I am using ibuprofen and using crutches to keep weight off it. What else can I do? Doctor: Hi,  Consult an orthopedician and get an MRI scan done to assess the status of your knee.  You may require an arthroscopic correction of needed.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
