Straightening knees

Hi everyone
Quick question does anyone have PSA and have trouble straightening your knees ONLY while standing and walking?

I can straighten my knee while sitting just not while standing and I have no pain in my knees its weird and causes fatigued muscles.

Thanks in advance

  1. Hi . That is kind of odd, especially since there is no pain involved. I hope you get some responses from the community. It almost sounds like fluid is rushing into your knees when you stand. What has your doctor said about it? I hope you get some answers and some relief. Best wishes! - Lori (Team Member)

    2. Hi . I hope stretching helps. Do you think your doctor might give you a prescription for PT? They can work wonders if that is the cause of your issues. - Lori (Team Member)
