A member asked:
Hi, for the last week my knees have been buckling and my leg gives out for a second and goes back to normal but causes ankle pain. any insight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Knee buckling: Do the knees buckle because of pain or because of weakness? There could be a knee problem or muscle weakness as the cause of the buckling. An orthopedic surgeon may be the best person to evaluate you for diagnosis and treatment.
