Help Ideas For Stiff Knee

[ayabrea38]

My knee is extremely and sometimes feels like it cannot hold weight and will 'give way'

A brief history-This time last year I was in hospital,bed bound,recovering from a seizure that I had that January.Phisio and OH where trying to get me moving,but both my knees where bent.I went to stay for rehabilitation where I saw a consultant who prescribed me 5 mg baclofen twice daily and exercises.
Both knees where straight and working by July.

However by September the right knee started to stiffen up again,getting so bad I had to ask GP for and X ray.He said there where signs of wear and tear and early signs of osteoporosis but nothing that should keep me down.

As I am looking at having major surgery on my left ankle soon I think it is best to get the knee working as good as it can.

I am wondering if anyone can advise of what my next step should be (oops,no pun intended sorry)Should I ask for a referral to physio to find what exercises could help?(Can I do that or will GP think I am wasting their time)Do any of you know of any sites that show any?

Any ideas would be good thanks

Have an appt to see the orthopod who is going to do the "major surgery" on your left ankle and make sure he sees the X-Rays of your right knee.
