Pain on back of knee while bending
I am facing this issue of pain on back of knee while bending the knee backwards.I have a history of tibial condyle fracture which happened in 2008 and hence have developed osteoarthritis because of it. I consulted a orthopedic doctor and he suggested to take glucoseamine and calcium for it .I had consulted another doctor before him who claimed that the pain is due to strained muscle on back of knee. The pain is there only when i am bending the knee and not while walking.I am totally confused wether this is a arthritic pain or muscle pain.Kindly guide?

Fractures around joint often lead to early onset arthritis. An xray ap and lateral view if the first investigation and necessarily to be done to see the amount of osteoarthritis. Please consult in clinic for examination of the patient and other necessary investigation if required

Clinical assessment is of immense importance to identify the cause. Standing x ray scannogram and if needed MRI would be useful to assess alignment of your legs and joint pathology
