A member asked:
I'm having a patella dislocation. 3 weeks now , pain has reduced but am unable to bend my knee and feeling stiffness. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hmmmm?: Some stiffness is to be expected, however the key question is how you have been treated. Nearly treatment designed to keep the patella reduced has been shown to reduce the risk of recurrence. If you are wearing a stabilizing patella brace, motion can begin a couple weeks after injury.
