General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to Baker's cyst or fibroma. Osteoarthritis can be present addition to this also. A physical examination by an orthopedian and x ray should be taken initially. MRI might be needed to get an exact picture. In case of cyst or fibroma, surgical excision will be helpful to relieve your condition.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
