Knee pain: If you can't bend whether there was trauma or not you need to be evaluated. Could be effusion from lyme/erlichia , inflammaotry arthritis, gout , infection all which require prescriptions and other interventions. when it is just fro mrepetitive motion you usually have preserved function and can bend.
