please go into more detail on your contracture.

I have contracture in my right leg probably.

I can straighten both legs, but at rest they don't want to just be straight?

how do you measure your contracture?

Nope, 20cm is just nope.

but my doctor scolded me. left knee is bad, right knee is horrible.
