Knee problem before IMUK

Dear all,
I have developed a Knee problem and was hoping someone may be able to shed some light on it.
Every time I push off from the pool wall, something in my right knee clicks, just as the knee is bent. The knee almost locks up temporarily and for about a week to 2 weeks after I almost have to walk on tip toe due to the pain experienced through my heel.
I have had a cartlidge op on the other knee and this pain is different, its at the rear of the knee but is very hard to pin point.
At times my whole leg feels very unstable.
My gp insists its not another tear or ligament issue but I am not sure.
Any help from the forum would be much appreciated

I now have this pain at the back of my knee almost like the ligament is too short, so when I stand up its like I have to stretch it.
Did your problem happen when swimming?
Not much help to you but maybe help you pinpoint something?
Thanks very much for the detailed reply. Based on your descriptions it sounds like it could be one of my calve tendons. I attempted the 'pulling up of the toes' method and this is a painfull exercise. It does only seem to happen when I push off from the wall of the pool. Swimming and biking are fine.
Thanks again for the advice and I will get back to my GP and attempt to get a specialist appointment.
