<human>: Hello. I had 2 knee surgeries last year. My knee never ever recovered fully. Last week it started to act up and now it worst this week. The pain is in the back of my knee. I can hardly walk and bend it. Please tell me what is going with this. I had a menulis tear on the right side of my knee.
<bot>: Try a simple test : stand on your heels with toes up (dorsiflexed ankle) while leaning forwards maintain position for 1 min if pain goes away then physical therapy with a professional should be very effective if i am your therapist I would focus on stretching of hamstring and calf muscles, also focus on strengthening vistas medial is (last 5 degree of knee extension)you should improve in first week yet 3 months Physical Therapy is recommended Good Luck
