A member asked:

Hi doctor. my knee pains when i kick football. the pain usually starts from back of knee. it actually started when my knee got hyperextended on oct.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rest: Your symptoms imply a recent strain or Baker cyst of your knee. Need to avoid hyperextending knee for 2-3 months
