Hello,

The symptoms can be related to Bakers cyst. I recommend to use anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms. I also suggest rest and elevation of the leg. If the symptoms continue, you should see your doctor for further evaluation.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
