Knee pain: Could be hamstring or gastroc strain, possibly capsule or acl or PCL tears. Check with orthopedic surgeon, give good history, get good physical exam, get x-ray/imaging to check for bone injury. Initial ice, rest, brace, elevate.

Variable.: Was there trauma? How long has it been? A visit with an orthopedist may be helpful for you.
