What Causes Pain In Center Of Back Portion Of Knee?

I was doing calf raises in the gym and heard a pop along with pain behind my right knee. Immediately I had to stop. I can straighten my knee out and hold body weight. I cannot climb a step putting any weight at all on the same leg. There s no swelling in the knee area. Weakness and terrible pain in the center of the back portion of the knee!

hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

As you have pain in the centre of the knee back side and climbing down the stairs or up is difficult I suspect It to be a meniscus strain. Also, taking a thorough clinical examination will help rule out the knee injury. Also an MRI will help understand the grade of injury.

Having physical therapy after a proper rest should provide you better knee stability and mobility.

in my clinical practice such cases are treated slowly and Gradually keeping in mind to avoid future problems coming up.
