Did you notice if it was better at all? I went in for fittings when the soft tissue behind the knee was still hurting. As we moved the saddle around, there was a point where pedaling stopped aggravating it and it actually started feeling better than even walking. Because I had started to get really low and forward (as compared to the fitter's recommendations) by that point, that's when I started looking for any other factor that I was missing (eventually finding the crankarm issue). I would go back and ask the guy to keep moving it until you get relief. Then see where that point is compared to where you "ought" to be and see 1) if there are any problems like you're really leaning on your hands or 2) if there are any ways to mimic that leg position by taking a different approach. If you go too far in changing the saddle position, you can always back it up a notch and see if that lets your knee recover.
