Baker's cyst: A very common occurrence as part as knee problems is a Baker's cyst which is a fluid filled lesion that grows in the popliteal fossa or as you said back of the knee. It could be very painful especially if it breaks. If small you can treat it with warm compresses. If too big then should be evaluated for possible drainage. However, in order to have a definite diagnosis you should get seen.
