A member asked:

I strained ligaments in my knee is the top half of the leg above the knee supposed to get stiff?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Happens often: It is common for the leg to get stiff when you have had an injury to it in some way. Use warm compresses or soak in a warm tub. If it persists see your doctor.
