Arthritis or another medical condition could be the cause of a stiff knee. Overuse of the joints and muscles in your knee can also cause stiffness. Strengthening your hamstrings, quadriceps and other knee-supporting muscles protects your knees from stress and the shock of impact, according to American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Stretching your muscles improves flexibility, which can prevent stiffness and injury.
Apply cold to reduce pain and swelling. Use ice on the knee 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off for. the first day when awake. Then apply cold as often as needed for 15 to 20 minutes at a time for the. next several days. Place a towel or cloth between the skin and the ice to prevent skin injury.
