Hi ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. From the history, it seems that it could be a popliteal cyst, which is a benign cyst behind the knee joint communicating with the joint cavity. However, this can not be diagnosed with certainty without a physical examination and some other investigations. Therefore, I would advise you to take appointment with a general surgeon of your area, and get it examined for a proper management of the condition. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
