A member asked:

I'm having trouble bending my knee without a ton of pain after being in a full leg cast for 5 weeks, help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You need to discuss: this with your orthopedic surgeon, so that proper treatment could be arranged. Hopefully, physical therapy would help, but it could be something more serious.
