Hi,
The symptoms described by you it may be Baker’s cyst or synovial cyst. You can better send me a photo of the lump on reports in order to better evaluate it. I suggest you do a USG of the swelling area and color Doppler study of the leg. I recommend you non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications. I also suggest you consult with the surgeon.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Arup Majumdar, General & Family Physician
