Suggest Treatment For Bump Behind Knee

Yes, first of all happy new year!!! I have a bump behind my left knee, the bump goes from the back center of the knee diagonally to a little lower towards the inside. It hurts when i extend my leg. Would that be a Baker s Cyst and should i be concerned about it?

Hi

It definitely sounds like a Baker's cyst and you need an MRI of the knee to check it. It can be drained or excised if it's causing problems
