A member asked:

Have sudden pain behind knee. is that one of the signs and symptoms of leg blood clot?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: Sudden onset pain usually is associated with something like a muscle tear or cyst rupture if the pain is very localized to behind the knee, not involving the entire lower leg. However, any time there is concern about a possible blood clot, you should be checked by a health professional.
