How Can Pain Behind The Knee Be Treated?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There might be some muscle pull or tendon injury. As of now, take adequate rest and take analgesics like Diclofenac or Acetaminophen. Immobilize the affected limb preferably in a brace. If symptoms persist, consult an orthopedic and get an MRI scan done to rule out ligament injury and tendon involvement.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
