“Why do I have pain in the back of my knee?”
I have a really annoying pain in the back of my knee and it often goes to the front. Most days, my legs feel as if they won't give way. I've past a fitness test, I'm 52 years old, don't smoke or drinks, and I haven't seen anyone for this yet. I have always walked and jogged, but now my left foot swells up. Why is this happening to me?

Sometimes you can get fluid in the back of the knee called a Baker’s cyst that can cause some discomfort. I have seen swelling below the knee due to this. It can be caused from something inside the knee such as arthritis. You would have to be examined to confirm this.
