knee injury?

[NoraKate]

So my sister is a runner

She asked me if I could pass a question along

a few days ago the back of her knee felt "sticky" but when she went to wash it off... nothing there

the next day the very same area got so painful she couldn't bend the knee

no swelling

she took ibuprofen and trued to "walk it off" and it faded away

nothing, nada, no pain

so she went running today
after the 1st 1/2 hour "stabbing I can't walk and am going to cry" pain
still no swelling

it faded after a while

she did call her dr but nothing is available until next week


ideas?

thank you in advance!

I'm no expert, but I do run, and I've had knee injuries. Something on the back of the leg behind the knee may not actually be a knee injury - it could be something where the hamstring attaches or something injured in the upper calf. My knee injuries have been in the front or on the side of the knee but not behind. Also, even if there's no swelling I don't think you can go wrong with an ice pack a couple of times a day.
