Pinching pain back of the knee

I have had what I can only describe as a pinching pain, in the area on the back of my leg behind my knee. This is where the pain is most intense and this radiates at times 6 inches up the leg and the same down the leg from the initial pain.

?I can walk no problem I do not feel pain when my leg is straight, it is when I sit down and the knee is bent that the pain comes. It has got worse over the last 3 4 months so now if I bend my leg in y sleep it wakes me up, it is becoming a real issue for me, and I have also noticed in the last few weeks that if I sit on the floor to change my babys nappy I cannot put weight on the front of that knee without pain. My doc says fibromyalgia but I am not convinced any ideas what this could be??

    I had the pinching feeling at the back of my knee, have you been doing the exercises given to you by your physio, as I found eventually the feeling stopped the more exercise I did, maybe you need to do the exercises to stretch the back of your knee. Just my opinion.  I hope you get sorted Carol.

    Have you done all the exercises necessary to rebuild your dead quads, glutes and core as well as stretch out your tight hamstrings?
