Posted on Sun, 5 May 2019

Question: Hi, Iam 39 year old female weighing 89kg. Iam having too much pain behind the right knee since 15 days. This pain comes from the outline of the knee and at the back of knee which goes down to calf muscle. I feel as if my calf muscles are fatigued. Sometimes it gives a feeling if someone has tightly grabbed my knee. Iam unable to step down on stairs as it pains a lot. I did lot of stretching excercises, heating pad and so on but after initial relief its not helping me much.
I have been using treadmill for 12-13 years now. Please help me what can be the cause of the same.
