Is Pain Behind The Knees And Lower Thighs A Matter Of Worry?
Hi, I am 74 years old and a male. I am a runner. For a while now I have been experiencing an ache type discomfort in the back of both knees and the back of the lower thigh. It is not constant. Also I find if I sit for a while and get up the ache is noticeable for a while, but as I walk it seems to dissipate. Anything I should worry about.
