Kneee problem
I was sleeping and I couldn’t bend my knee. I had this feeling that if I did, I would break something. I also feel my knee stiff when Im exposed to cold weather for a long time. I had a meniscus tear and acl reconstruction surgery. Could this contribute to that weird feeling?
⢠Contrast Fomentation (Hot and Cold).
⢠Avoid Squatting-
⢠Avoid sitting Cross legged
⢠Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment in which knee is applied warm water followed by the immediate application of the knee with ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.
