What Causes Soreness And Stiffness Behind The Knee?
I am having soreness on the inside of my knee. The back of the inside of my knee/leg feels a little tight at time. I have run / walked for exercise and had to stop because of the soreness turned pain in my knee. I have been without exercise for 3 weeks now and it does feel better. I did not hurt myself so I am not sure what caused.

Hello,
Pain and stiffness in the joint may be due to arthritis or posterior part of meniscus is torn may lead to posterior part of knee pain.
Take rest, avoid excessive weight bearing on that joint. Use cold and warm compression. Use NSAIDS in case of pain. get it done an X-ray of the knee joint or MRI knee joint.
If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
