Hello and thanks for writing.

I can understand your problem and will help you in the best way possible. Pain behind the knee could be due ro several factors like a sprain, Bursitis, myositis, even a fracture, osteoporosis, Vitamin d deficiency and many other things. I suggest you consult your physician who may investigate you after a thorough physical exaination. You may require tests like serum calcium,Vitamin D, X Ray of the involved area and other tests. You can also consult a physiotherapist to begin a exercize schedule for you.
