What Causes Pain In The Back Of The Leg?

It is painful when I bend my left leg. The pain is in the back of my leg. When I go for a walk, within a half mile my knee and the bend in my leg begin to swell. I have been putting ice on it but the pain only stops for a few minutes. This is happening on a daily basis.

you are probably suffering from deep venous thrombosis where small blood clots block the blood supply to the affected part of the leg. i advice you to get it checked by a general surgeon.
