A member asked:
What would cause a bakers cyst to form out of nowhere?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends.: It can be a meniscal tear or arthritis, that is causing the knee to produce fluid, which can collect in the back of the knee, thus, forming a baker's cyst. See an orthopedic knee specialist, who can determine the origin of the cyst.
