Pain behind knee

2017-10-16 05:10:15
Before 10 days while lying on bed my leg stretched down and i felt like something has moved around my knee. After that i am feeling pain behind my knee and sometimes it gets so severe that I can't take the next step. Then on resting it comes to pervious position but in a day 3-4 times i feel like something has again moved there. My physiotherapist friend told that maybe some soft tissue got broken inside that part of the knee. So whom should I consult, an orthopedics or a physiotherapist?

You will probably need an MRI of the affected knee.
