What Can Cause Pain And Stiffness Behind The Knees And Thighs?
I have pain and stiffness in the rear of my knees and thighs. I want to an Orthopedist and he gave me a cortizone shot. The pain and stiffness extends from my buttox to the rear of my knees in both legs. It often becomes difficult to stand from a sitting position especially over an extended period of time sitting. The Orthopedist seems to think that this is stemming from my back but I don't have back pain

Hello,
As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
