Unable to fold the right leg

Question

Asked for Male, 29 Years

My father, age 70, is unable to fold his right leg. This problem started from Wednesday morning when he woke up. He was fine when he went to bed the previous night. There is a little pajn in the knee. We have been massaging his knee with hot water, that is helping a little bit.

Hi there It can be because of degenerative changes in knee occurring because of age or any other reason like previous injury. I would like to suggest you to go for a X-ray of his right knee. And take it to an orthopedic doctor for further treatment or you can opt to go to a physiotherapist and he will take care of his knee joint by strengthening,stretching and mobilising the joint.

Next Steps
