Suggest Treatment For Pain In Bend Of Knee
I have pain in the bend of my knee, in the back. It goes up a little to the back of my thigh and down a little in my calf. It hurts to stand but once I ve been on it a little, I m able to walk. I can t bend it upwards, say, to put on pants or my socks without bad pain

hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
A detailed assessment of the knee joint and lumbar spine is advised.
Since the pain is while bending the knee, for me it looks more of a ligament injury which could have occurred due to any factor. That is the reason you are not able to bend the knee. Also, an MRI can help assist further post assessing the knee in the clinic by a ortho.
Based on the MRI reports, simple pain killers and physical therapy will be guided. in about 2-3 weeks of time, depending upon the type of soft tissue injury, you should be back to normal.
In my clinical practice i find 2-3 weeks of physical therapy regains the movement and functioning.
