Hi,

I have wrote on here before about this pain. I dont play any sports or do exercise (so bad i know) no have i taken a fall so i know this is not injury related. i have a very strange feeling behind my left knee when i stand up and walk i have a strained feeling…its like something is pulling at the back of my leg?! theres no real sign of swelling and it doesn’t hurt to touch. I also have like a dull ache at times around my whole leg and my left butt cheek.

I suffer quite badly with health anxiety and know i am just thinking the absolute worst as it has been persisting for over 2 weeks now. Pls can anyone reply with any ideas? :confused:

any bruising? sounds like a strained or torn hamstring, maybe? ice, nsaid until pain eases, then heat & gentle stretching…

Have you tried ice on it? Not directly on skin, but a pack of peas wrapped in a cloth might help together with some pain relief, either topical or tablets. If you’re worried please see a doctor and they can examine you, suggest the appropriate and reassure you.
