The area of the leg behind the knees, (not inside the joint, i.e. the part you can touch from the outside) is called the "popliteal" region or area.

The outmoded term medial shin splints has been replaced by the term medial tibial stress syndrome. Either term is fine, the pain is at the medial aspect of the leg, adjacent to the medial tibia. Tenderness is usually found between 3 and 12 centimeters above the tip of the medial malleolus at the posterio-medial aspect of the tibia. When the tibia is palpated (touched) the tenderness is not directly medial, but just behind the most medial portion of the tibia, in the mass of soft tissue that is there and at the bone itself. Periostitis sometimes occurs in this location. The sore, inflamed structures usually include the medial muscles and tendons here. Most frequently involved is the posterior tibial tendon and muscle, but the flexor digitorum longus and flexor hallucis longus may also be involved.

Something lower impact. Knees are once in a lifetime.

Its the most common cause of cronic knee pain, it happens when the patella (knee cap) isnt aligned correctly and it slides over the lower end of the femur. It can be treated by working on the inner portion of the quadriceps muscle to help normalize the tracking of the patella

inferior means lower portion; lateral means farther from the midline of the body. so it is the outer lower portion of your butt (approximately your butt cheek crease before your thigh)

Sounds to me like you jarred the knee.\nIt can happen from an impact like jumping in BB. If you are lucky its only a jarred knee which will take a few days to sort itself out. It could be ligament damage but thats unlikely as you would be in severe pain constantly and would know straight away. Try getting a crep (sorry i dont know the spelling, but basically its a tight elastic material) bandage and leave it on it for support when your are moving around.\nOther then that, ice it for a while to make sre there is no internal bleeding, then apply a heat pack to it every half an hour for 10 mins and see if that sorts it out.\nYou should go to see a sports doctor or a physio either way, an ordinary GP will just refer you to a specialist if he does not solve it.

Place one foot about 3 feet in front of the other bend your leg forward so that your back knee almost touches the ground and your front leg is at a 90 degree angle, hold that and then rise up

I've heard it called a bursa before.  My doctor described it as a collection of fluid - sometimes they will use a cortisone shot to reduce it.  I had one in my knee, but they couldn't use cortisone bc it's back for the tendon.  Good luck!

it is the soft (or hard, if its calloused) area of at the bottom of your feet right after your toes and before the arch of your feet. it is the part of your feet that you "stand on" or where  you put your weight when your trying to reach for something higher than you

Interesting question. In anatomy, they name structures typically but you are looking for the names to the space outside the body above or around structures. The lumbar region is where you would find the small or hallow of the back and the lateral to the group of bones that forms the tarsus is where the small of the ankle would be located. \n\nThe suprasternal notch is actually part of the sternum and therefore named. The hallows both of the back and the ankle are formed by the articulations or the way several things fit together on the body and therefore not. They are not, in an anatomical sense, specific enough to anything.

yes -they are situated in the tight-fitting area just above the thighs

I am pretty sure you are referring to a Baker's cyst.  They are found behind the knee joint.  A finding of a Baker's cyst is almost proof positive that you have a meniscal tear of the knee.  In fact, when we do a knee MRI on a patient and find a Baker's cyst, but no meniscal tear, we can assume the patient has a tear that is too small to visualize.\nBaker's cyst is an accumulation of joint fluid (synovial fluid) that forms behind the knee.  A Baker's cyst is commonly associated with a tear in the meniscal cartilage of the knee.  http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001222.htm\nBaker cysts also can result from cartilage tears (such as a torn meniscus), rheumatoid arthritis, and other knee problems.  http://www.medicinenet.com/baker_cyst/article.htm

It's a nice little concave spot on the spine right above your butt on your lower back.  This is where the guy usually puts his hand when "guiding" a woman through a door or when dancing.
