My knee hurts - any advice

For a couple of weeks now the back of my knee ( specifically outside part of the back but also general back of my knee / leg area around it, had been hurting.

It feels stiff and hurts when I fully extend my leg. It also hurts to kneel on it. I never realised how often I kneel on it in general life. Sitting on that floor on top oh my legs under me ( with knees fully bent under my body) Aldi hurts. Squatting also hurts.

None of it is excruciating pain but it's there and it just feels stiff.

The doc said it might be miniscus. I had an MRI scan which didn't show up any issues.

Does anyone know what it could be ?

Could it be peri/ menopause related? I have been suffering joint pain and was sent for an X-ray on my knee which I was surprised showed nothing. I have a physio appointment next week which I hope will help!

I don't know. I'm 37? I don't think I have symptoms yet of peri menopause in general yet I don't think..

No advice but I have the exact same problem with my knee. Pain when straightening my leg, except mine is in the front just under my knee cap but the same kind of pain. I’ve had it for about 3 months.
