Knee Pain under Heavy Stress
I have recurrent knee pain in the back of the knee whenever I do any strenuous activities (jumping while playing basketball, or sprinting). The pain is not constantly there. It subsides on applying a cold pack and I don't feel any discomfort during routine walking and light jogging. In the mornings though the knee feels little odd and locked. Can it be an ACL or meniscus related issue? I started happening about a couple of months back while playing basketball.
