Suggest Treatment For Knee Pain
I have pain in the back of my right knee outer side up through the hamstring. Pain comes on at nightime for the last two nights. I recently was prescribed orthotics for my dress shoes while at work. Started wearing them on monday this week and yesterday and today have not worn the dress shoes, only sneakers. I have no bruising or swelling, skin is normal color and consistent temp with the rest of my body. Is the pain from my legs falling on bad habits without the orthotics or something more

Hi there.
You could be having possible Baker's cyst behind the knee which can occur in setting of knee arthritis. I advise you to consult your Surgeon in this regard as if there is a cyst, it may need to be removed surgically.
