Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi You have a Baker's Cyst in your knee which is now giving trouble in form of cramps in your leg.In my opinion your Baker's Cyst has ruptured and the fluid of cyst has gone into the muscles of Calf. This acute pain will reduce in few days but it can recur again. I suggest that you get an MRI and go for operation to remove the cyst.
