Knee Instability & Weakness in Bakersfield, CA
When it feels like your knee might buckle
A single stumble can make you start looking for the handrail before every step. If your knee feels unreliable, it helps to distinguish a sudden buckle from a general feeling of being off balance.
Understanding Knee Instability & Weakness
Pain, weakness or swelling can interfere with how the leg supports weight. Ligament injuries can also change the way a knee steadies itself as you step or turn. Repeated episodes deserve assessment.
