If it seems like the pain is especially located on the back of the knee... you have a bursi sak there that can get inflamed... here is a explaination of that.

I burst the bursa sak on my right knee in Karate and I'm telling you the pain took my breath away.  Initially I was on crutches, and ice to reduce swelling.  Then heat and I kept it wrapped in a neophrene brace.  There was nothing much they could do other than to allieviate the pain as best as possible and wait for the dang thing to heal.  I remember when it happened because I put too much force in my kick (to a bag) and I accidently hyper-extended my knee.

 

In my case it took about a year to not have ANY pain anymore..... one of the worst injuries I've had (and I've also had 3 surgeries on my knees for other problems....)

 

My best to you.....
