Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of getting Backer's custom behind knee 4 months ago. Now have pain in the knee and headache for 4 days.
Ideally Backer's cyst can not cause any headache, not related.
Pain in the knee can be due to Backer's cyst if under tension.
I would advise you the following:
Consult your GP, get the reasons and treatment for headache.
Get a reference for an Orthopedic Surgeon.
Get an appointment for Surgery and get operated.

I find this answer helpful
