See a doctor!: There are many possible causes why your legs do not straighten out. Have you had any injury or surgery to your knees? Are you a runner, an athlete, a gymnast or a dancer? It could be due to severe osteoarthritis, ligament tears, problems with muscles or tendons of your thighs or calves. In any case, it's not normal. You should be seen by a doctor for evaluation.
