Question about English (US)
Is this natural? "I have difficulty bending and stretching my knees." Or maybe legs in stead of knees? Any better expressions?

That sounds natural to me.
Although, I probably wouldn't say "stretching" when talking about my knees, because knees are joints not muscles. :-)
