Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you may be having bakers cyst as your doctor said fluid behind the knee.You can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. It can be confirmed by MRI. Its treatment is aspiration with wide bore needle and local triamcilone injection in it to prevent recurrence.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care
