Subject: RE: Back of knee pain ? I have had exactly the same problem for the last two weeks. Doesn't start hurting until after the run. Just been to the Physiotherapist, who tells me it's a calf muscle strain. And because it's right at the top of the muscle, where it stablises the knee, you get the pain around and behind the knee. He gave it some very deep massage, says to stretch it at least 3 times a day, don't run for a week, and go back for 2 more visits next week. Hope it works OK. I also checked out the net, and appears it is a "grade one" calf strain. Hope this helps. Cheers Calf Muscle Strain Signs & SymptomsWith a grade one Calf strain the signs may not be present until after the activity is over.
