What causes pain in the upper back calf right above the knee?

I'm a teenage girl that plays softball and volleyball. I've had this pain about 6 months ago. It feels like a stabbing pain right under my knee and last time it went away overnight; however, I don't want it to come back if I can help it. I haven't played any sport in a couple of weeks and I've recently done a lot of swimming and walking. When I stretch my calf muscles, the pain increases.

1. cut off your leg, but you have to do it yourself or it wont grow back

2. That is where your hamstring is located, you have most likely pulled a muscle around that area, I'd advise you to firstly consult your local GP.
