What Causes Pain On The Back Of The Knee?

Iamb one on bone in my right knee. Now I am having lots of pain on the back of the knee. After sitting and I get up and go to take a step it is so hard for a couple of steps then it gets easier. Is this just part of the bone on bone or is it something else?

Hi,

Pain at the back of the knee could be due to arthritis, cramps of legs, Baker's cyst, ligament injury, calf strain, tendonitis, Meniscus tear etc.

I advice you to:
- Rest, don't strain the knee (to bare body weight)
- Keep ice pack
- Compression bandage (not too tight)
- Elevate the injured knee (with pillows)
- Analgesics
- Xray of right knee to find out the underlying pathology if any
- Blood investigations to assess the levels of ASO, CRP, RA factors.
- Consult your doctor for further assistance.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya Vasudevan, General & Family Physician
