Why cant i make my knee go straight when walking? i have to bend it when walking and then i have a limp...

Requires exam: If it won't straighten up there is something stopping it. What that is and how to fix it will require an exam & possibly imaging studies. Schedule a visit with your doc or go to an urgent care center with x-ray capabilities.
