A member asked:
What does it mean when you have knee pain when you straighten it & put weight on it?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Let try to help: When you straighten the knee you move your joint, to me that means some problem in the bone or the cartilage or both. To find the answer should go to family Doctor and have check it out.
