A member asked:

What causes pain in the back of the knee when removing shoes by placing the heel of one foot against the other foot and pulling?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Gastrocnemius: Part of your calf muscle attaches above the knee. Forcing the heel backward will recruit this muscle and can cause pain if it is tight or inflamed. A gentle, progressive stretching program should help.
