A member asked:

What would a blood clot feel like in the knee? i have a popliteal cyst by my knee replacement does that increase the chance of one forming

Dr. Guy Fogel answered

Not a clot: Usually the knee pain is more likely related to the popliteal cyst and not a clot clot usually hurts over the veins below the knee on the posterior surface or above the knee on the anterior surface.
