For the past two months I have felt a
mild, dull ache behind my knee along with
other leg pain. It was never too bad,
until today, it hurts really bad to
straighten it and walk on it. It subsides
when I bend it. The feeling is like that
of a twisted ankle or something but behind
my knee. It's pretty intense.
I don't know if its related at all but my
knee always makes a crunching sound when I
stand up...Also i'm 20 yrs old, female so
maybe that will make a difference too in
what it could be. Thanks!

dear backhome22,
you might have more hits asking this
question in the “muscular and nerve
disorders” forum. Try posting the same
question of there and see if the results
are better.

Hi backhome22,
I'm by no means an expert but I will
suggest you read up a bit on
"Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome". It's pain
that happens behind the knee caps and has
many causes, as well as many treatments.
If you do have this, then the only way
fixing it is by specific muscle
strengthening exercises.
