Pain behind knee
Whenever I sit for some time and then start to move, I have pain behind my knee and can not walk properly for some time. But, once I continue to walk, pain goes away.
This has been happening for 2 months now. The pain has increased. It started after I played football 2 or 3 times.

Hello. Is there any history of clicking or locking in knee? With a football injury (?twisting mechanism), you can sometimes have a meniscus injury. If it is not getting better, please consult an orthopaedic surgeon. You may need an MRI scan too to establish diagnosis. Dr M Vashishtha FRCS
