A member asked:
Hyperextended knee 2 months ago. still feels tight behind knee and sore, especially after doing activity. what could be going on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chronic tear: With hyperextension, you could have partially torn a tendon, muscle, or ligament around the knee. Here is a link to potential injuries. http://www.physioadvisor.com.au/7660150/knee-pain-knee-injury-diagnosis-physioadvisor.htm I personally recommend massage therapy with physical therapy for chronic pain syndromes. If this doesn't work, you will need a more in depth evaluation.
