Brief Answer:
Can be tendinitis

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read your query and here is my advice.
I see the picture you attached and it shows localization of the pain.
I think that the most probable reason of the pain behind the knee , popliteal fossa, coming upward can be related to tendinitis.
Also the particles in fossa can be related to tendinitis. I believe you may need to do an ultrasound of the fossa to check these particles.
Taking anti-inflammatory drugs such ibuprofen or naproxen will ease the pain and reduce inflammation.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
