One of the more common causes of pain in the back of the knee joint, specifically, is a popliteal synovial cyst, which is also known as a bakerâs cyst. This fluid-filled cyst at the back of the leg often forms in response to arthritis or other cartilage damage. The bulge creates a feeling of tightness behind the knee as well as stiffness and swelling and pain behind the knee and calf. For many, this pain intensifies when flexing or fully extending the leg.
Other conditions that cause knee pain include: 1  Bursitis. 2  A bursa is a sac of fluid that resides below the skin overlying your joints. 3  Overuse, a fall, or repeated bending and kneeling can irritate the bursa overlying the knee cap (patella), causing pain and swelling. The iliotibial band is a piece of tough tissue that runs from your hip down to the outer part of your knee. 2  If it's irritated by overuse or other problems, it can become inflamed and cause pain on the outer side of the knee.
