Hi ALS388,

Many thanks for you reply, I really appreciate you taking the time to respond and try to help.

I will review the images you have shared here.

Somebody mentioned to me recently that I could have a bursitis at the back of my knee. If would tie in with the slight swelling, and tightness (very tight) when I stand up after sitting.

I've started performing this set of stretches daily and it's really helping. (In fact, the reason I know these stretches are truly helping is because I perform them every day 3 times a day for an entire week, and the pain really subsided a lot. However, I then stopped for 5 days and the pain returned ) So, I'll keep doing these stretches for now at least.

Hi David, how have you been? Hope you're doing better

In your last message you said someone mentioned bursitis behind the knee.....is it swollen or painful right behind the knee? If it's that area that is painful, it could also be a baker's cyst. These typically arise due to an underlying knee issue.

The first and hardest thing is always determining what the actual ailment is
