I'm having painful spasms behind my left knew. maybe it's a muscle but feels more like a nerve. help!!

Nerve problem?: Nerve problems often cause numbness, tingling, burning or weakness. If you have these symptoms, it is suspicious for a nerve problem. Spasms often are related to muscles, but not necessarily nerve. Does movement make the problem worse? Consider your calf and hamstring muscles too.
