Hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
As your range is 85 degrees, you need to push harder and active hamstring movement should be achieved and the knee ROM should be 120 degress for better stability and mobility.
Also, while performing knee bending for getting range pain may come and knee may become stiff as this is brains protective mechanism and it has to be override to get the tissue flexibility.
In my clinical practice we get 130 degrees and this kind of symptoms are common.
