Knee Pain
A baker's cyst or a popliteal, as it's also called, is a cyst that develops at the back of a person's knee. The fluid-filled swelling causes a bulge and tightness behind the knee, causing some discomfort and making it difficult to fully extend the leg.
Extending the knee, taking part in physical activity or standing for long periods of time can result in an increase in pain felt by an individual. As a result, knee pain is a major symptom of a Baker's cyst.
