You may have strained your hamstring muscles. You might have a popliteal cyst behind your knee. You could for some unknown reason have a blood clot or possibly a varicose vein or maybe phlebitis. Or maybe a torn meniscus.This is why we do imaging to narrow down the possibilities in conjunction with a knee exam. Hang in there for the results.
