A member asked:

What're some ways to loosen up a stiff knee (arthritis)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Low-impact exercise: Riding the stationary bike or using the eliptical machine and judiciously using anti-inflammatory medications (follow the label) can help with your symptoms. Icing the knee is also helpful.
