The pain your describing BF is the exact same as what I am experiencing at the moment. I had an ACL reconstruction about 6 years ago and since then I have no problems. I have been playing competitive soccer on and off since then. Recently though at soccer training I felt a sharp pain behind the knee and since then I have felt sharp pains in the hamstring area and the upper calf area. Also my knee feel really weak and unstable since then for some reason. I hope its not serious.

i did the same thing only in gymnastics.....i got an MRI and i found out i tore my meniscus-the cartilage in the knee- I am guessing if your knee is not giving way or you didnt hear a pop when you hyper extended it then you probably tore the cartilage. I would go see a doctor if i were you because if it is torn cartilage, you can rest your knee for weeks or months but as soon as you go back and start playing again it will start to hurt.

I just wrote that exact question in the ACL reconstruction section. I am 3 months after surgery and I have serious pain in the back left side of my knee (left knee) it is the one I injured, but the difference for me is that I naturally hyperextand and I am trying to get back to full extention (hyperextention) but this pain stops me all the time. Is it sort of a dull ache at times almost into your hamstring and down into the calf? and then if it goes to far a real sharp pain that makes it almost buckle? It seems that it's OK in the morning, but as soon as I walk around or do any of my excercises, it gets worse. It started right after the injury and then I had the surgery 6 months later (takes a while here in Canada) and now 3 months after that it's still there. I had Physio, IMS (Muscular acupuncture) acupunture, stretching, ice, TENS machine, nothing will make it go away. Anyone who knows anything about this, I would really appreciate any info. It's driving me crazy as I can't get back to any sports etc. The OS mentioned that it might be swelling pushing throught the back of the knee (but then you have to think why is the knee swollen still?) or scar tissue in the intercodylar notch, but not positive about either of these options so going back into surgery may have to happen. Would love to avoid that ...........

Mike,
I have the exact same pain in the same area only occuring when i hyperextend. I can be standing and then it kind of hyperextends and i get a sharp twang of pain. I am not sure why this occurs, but i have previously had a knee reconstuction due to a torn ACL and i play alot of sport.
Can anyone assist?
Sam.

Hi,
Anybody got any info for me. I have been playing soccer for many years and in December I hyperextended my knee playing. From time to time it gives me aggro but lately its been a nightmare and I haven't hyperextended it again. When I stand with my legs at full extension and push back I fell no pain in my right knee but my left feels a sharp pain on the left hand side? Will this stop if I rest it? It did last time but did I not leave it long enough or is this going to keep reoccuring? I get no swelling and twisting doesn't fell painful, its only when kicking with power.
