I have pain behind my left knee. It is a sharp, almost stinging pain. Not associated with the kneecap. It feels better when I go to a reformer pilates class (which I do at least 4 times per week) but lately my knee has gotten worse. It is very painful to squat and somewhat painful to walk. It is worse when I am inactive but it hurts pretty much all the time now. I am in pretty good shape. 61 year old woman, probably could lose a few pounds (I am 5 6 and weigh 150 lbs), I exercise and garden and play golf and I don t want to stop any of these activities. It isn t a hamstring pull (or at least I don t think that it is) but it does feel to me more like a muscle or tendon problem as opposed to a joint or bone problem,
Hi, You might be having a meniscus tear in the knee. All symptoms are pointing towards the possibility of a meniscus tear. Diagnosis needs to be confirmed by MRI of the left knee.  It is highly sensitive and specific for the diagnosis of knee pathology. Please get it done from radiology center nearby you. Meanwhile, avoid squatting and crossed leg sitting.  Start tab Attract twice a day for pain relief. Visit orthopedic surgeon for detailed clinical Examination is recommended.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
