Should I be worried about pain in the back of my knee?
For the past week or so I have been having some knee pain in the back of my knee. It only hurts after I have had my knee bent for a long time, like when I am sitting down, and either get up to walk or try to straighten my leg. It is a sharp shooting pain. Usually the pain goes away after I walk for a little bit or keep my leg straight. Is this something I should be worried about?

1. Yes, this can be something to worry about because it can be an indication that there may be a problem with the posterior cruciate ligament (the ligament in the back of the knee), but this is an example only.I would recommend seeing your doctor for further evaluation of the situation.
