Can A Bakers Cyst Cause Another Cyst In The Same Leg?

can a bakers cyst cause another cyst in the lower outside of the same leg? I had my knee, calf, and ankle swell up on my right leg and was diagnosed with bakers cyst. the swelling is down, the pain is still there but not as bad. but now I have a small cyst on the outside lower right side of my calf.

Hi . Baker's cyst is generally seen behind knee joint and by definition it cannot extend beyond the burssa in knee joint .Since you have another sweeling in the outer lower calf it is not related to Baker's cyst.
