What Causes Soreness In The Back Of Knee?
Back of my knee very sore, somewhat swollen but not warm or red. Painful right leg when I walk. Just came from a 4 hr driving trip yesterday. I was driving. Did stop once half way for a break. Leg pain kept me awake off and on last night. Used pillows to prop leg. Back of thigh hurts too. I am 60 yrs old, female. Have high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol on meds for all.
