knee can't bend
My fiance car crashed in 2009 and underwent a knee surgery.now he could only bend his knee some 20% but not more.2012 and 13,he had pain inside his knee.and applied a cream and the pain vanished but stil he can't bend his knee.he can't walk up or down.please help.
Thank you so much for your valuable help when i needed most what to do to help in my pondering.il try my best to let him do what you suggested and il tell him about you.do help in future when we needed one.wish to be friends with you.thanks alot.tc
Great! Its nice that he is a reasonable man. While youre at it, try to convince him to see an actual PT for a comprehensive examination and other exercises they could teach him at home.
As for the medicine, Im not really that good with prescription medicine so its best to ask people with extensive knowledge on them.
Happy to have help.

Thank you so much,ya he is a nice gent who doesnt want to worry me with his problems.but i have deep hope that there must be some way to make him normal again and please wait about the medicine,il check out and tell you.and il persued him to do what you suggested.he told me he would try again anything again for 6 to 12mts for my sake.lets wait.ok?
Oh and i forgot to mention to hold the stretch until he feels a little pain at the end range of what little range of motion he could.
What i meant will be like, if his end range is only say at 20 degree push it a bit further until there is that little pain. Its not really anything to be concerned with, it's just muscle stretch unless he specifically tells you that the pain is too much to bear and you should stop.

Isnt he sweet? He doesnt want to bother you!
Seriously, since I dont know much of what happened with his knee and it's just my assumption that it could be quads muscle tightness.
The only thing I could recommend at this point is to stretch his quads muscle. Hold the stretch at 15 sec and do it for 10 reps, atleats 3x a day. Also it could help to loosen the ligaments and relax the muscle, if you can put a hot compress around his knee for 20mins. What's good with this is heat is pain reliever.
Temperature of the compress should be at the right temperature, not too hot but not burning hot. Or if you have a hot shower that will do to, just soaked it for 20mins.
That i think is the only thing i could recommend right now. Hope it helps.

Helow,am sorry i dont exactly know whats wrong.just that its not a replacement.maybe due to inactivity he couldnt bend it.he wont say much about it.i dont know how to persued him,he just want me to forget,he said he was on medicine for oil to the knee and found little improvement.do u think there is something at home that can be done to improve it?il tell you the name of the medicine tomarrow.and u see,yesterday he walk rather a long distance and in the evening his problem free right leg,heel was in pain,a bit unstable when he walk.i thank you sincerely for your concern.
Sorry for the late reply.
I really dont know what you meant by knee surgery? If his knee was just realigned, or his knee joint complex had been replaced, there is that tendency secondary to rest and inactivity during post-op that his quad muscles have shortened/tightened. Its still best to see a physical therapist, just bring in his past or recent xray or mri.
As for the arteries, i dont think so unless his doctor have said so. Problem with arteries are rather best to be asked from a doctor.
