Anyone know any good exercises for when your knee is extremely painful to bend? I was doing squats and such but that is out of the question right now, but I do not want to forget my legs when I do toning exercises. I know the more muscle I put on my legs the better my knee will be.

Thanks!

    Maybe just the classic 80's style leg lifts (on stomach, back, and on side inner and outer thighs) for upper and calf raises for lower? Thats what I had to do after my knee surgery so It can't be bad for your knee right?

    YOU should get it evaluated so you can know for sure which exercise you can do to build and not make worse!
