Behind knee and calf pain

Hi all

I hope you are well and coping as best you can in this heat.

I just want to see if anyone else has had this. For the last few days, I have started to get pain behind my right knee and it radiates down to my calf. It almost feels like it’s muscular and I’ve pulled something which I am not aware of. If I try to bend my leg up behind me it will only go so far as it really hurts and feels tight. Previous to this over the last couple of week’s I’ve had no pain but it felt like I was wearing a tight knee high sock. This has worn off but I now have this tightness/muscle pain. My right side is my ms side. I am taking ibuprofen and funnily enough my ms consultant recently prescribed pregablin as I have been getting nerve pain occasionally in my thigh. I have not taken any yet as not had it since - typical ms!

Can anyone relate? Much appreciated x

Update: I had an urgent gp appt yesterday as the pain behind my knee is now unbearable with a very stinging burning pain. They ruled out a blood clot - no hot spots or swelling etc. However, it was suggested I have osteoarthritis! I thought this was in your bones, not the flesh behind your knee? Help! X

Hi
Yes I’ve also suffered with the same problem . I find these problems start but then go away then another problem starts . When I had this I couldn’t go down on my knee it would kill me

Hi yes i too have had this and it is on both legs i am trying to do gentle stretches as this is very important as leg muscles can get very tight which can also effect ankles and feet kind regards
