Question - Back of my knee / upper calf (pain with running)

I have been experiencing pain during and after my runs in the back of my knee / upper calf. It appears to be in the middle of the back of my right knee and is painful to extend my leg fully when taking my stride. It also is painful to bend my leg all the way back (heel to buttocks) It feels like a tight cord that will not relax. I have been resting it for about a week and miss the 3x a week runs ( 20 miles per week).

Any suggestions?

If this has been going on for more than a week, I would recommend seeing your physician. That is the best way to determine exactly what is going on and the best treatment options.
