Medical Conditions - Knee Stiffness

Knee stiffness occurs commonly among older adults and people who are physically active. It occurs due to poor flexibility or muscular imbalance in the legs. Injury and arthritis also cause knee stiffness. The symptoms are knee pain, redness, warmth on the knees, and inability to straighten it. Taking anti-inflammatory medications, RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation), and physical therapy helps control it.
