I can't take this pain walking. I have to wait for a referral. My back surgeon doesn't take care of this.
It is in the back of the knee where it bends or creases. Anything you know would be appreciated. Don't know if it is a ligament or what.

Halfpint, it could be a number of different things. Here is a link to some of the possible problems: http://www.knee-pain-explained.com/pain-behind-the-knee.html Hope you get a diagnosis soon and that it heals ok.

You could have a cyst back there, I would check with your general practitioner and see what he/she says. Hope your feeling better soon.

Thank you all very much. It is very painful walking. I sat and looked at Nik walk the wire for a few hours Sunday and then boom this happened when I got up.

Hi halfpint,
I can throw out "might be's" for all types of physical maladies, but when they might be of a serious nature? Not something I do.
You do not have a GP? I don't get why a "back surgeon" would not at least look at it and tell you something. One of my best friends is a spinal surgeon and he knows a whole lot more about human anatomy than the spine.
If you are really concerned about this get thee to an ER.

All possibilities stated above.
I too was thinking a Baker's cyst.
Possibly a blood clot
Possible peripheral vascular disease
A good PCP can determine these diagnoses.

halfpint,
The most concerning of all would be a blood clot. Another possibility is that your ACL (ligament), which is in the back, experienced a tear.
If this were me, knowing that this is in one of my lower extremities and that I really should rule out a blood clot, I would get myself to an ER or at least a good Urgent Care center.
Don't wait for the referral. Yes, go to the eventual referral, but you need to get a handle on this immediately.
God Bless.
