    Not sure how you got to Bone Cancer from pain behind the knee. Pain behind the knee is super common if the tendons or muscles or joint itself are over worked or injured.

    Try icing it. If the knee is hurt, because there is not much meat around the joint, there is really only the back of the knee for fluids to gather and tendons and ligaments to swell, etc.

    See your doctor, you have probably just injured is somehow working out - sometimes it takes days after an injury for you to notice any symptoms

    After a life time of knee problems, amounting in over 10 complex surgeries, I get that pain all the time. But for peace of mind - see your doctor to put your mind at ease. 😃 ..

      You should go see your doctor. Before my TKR had years of knee pain and swelling and sometimes i had no cause i could relate it to.
