Hi - the back of my left knee is pretty sore and has been for sometime - I've had to stop cycling and running. I went to see a Physio who thought I had a Pirifomis Syndrome, I stopped going to him as I thought it wasn't working, I'm now seeing a guy who says it's a strained popliteal muscle/tendon. He has found a point that is very sore when he presses on it. It's located left of centre and about half an inch below the fold line of the knee. I get a tight feeling right across and slightly below the fold line pretty much all the time.
When I do a slump test I get a tight feeling and can't fully straighten the knee at first, but once I've done 3 or 4 of these slump test stretches I can straighten it, but still tender and tight. When the physio rotates my foot inward while doing a slump it's very sore to the left of the knee (probably the outer hamstring tendon??).

Anyone know what this is? Popliteal, Plantar, Hamstring train???

Knee doesn't "lock". MRI showed no problems with a mensical tear.

The pain or ache is there pretty much all the time.
I never jarred or fell on the knee, it just became sore after a run.
I never get sharp shooting pain.
