Answers:
Pain in the back of the knee can be due to the formation of a cyst, called a Baker's Cyst, in the back of the knee joint. Also common is for kneecap pain to be felt in the back of the knee. You should go to the doctor before a serious problem develops.

Why haven't you gone to the doctor 13 years ago?

Yes, do go to a Dr. Sometimes when young men grow their bones in their legs grow faster than the rest of their body (especially basketball players). There is a fancy name for this syndrome but I am at a loss for it. But definitely make an appointment with your doctor or a sports specialist to avoid future injuries and learn ways to stretch out those areas properly.
