I have been told that i have a baker's cyst behind my left knee. my ankle and leg are very swollen. is this a part of the baker's cyst. remedy?

Cyst or drainage?: These do sometimes track pretty far down the leg. It could certainly be the cyst itself if it remains on the posterior aspect of the leg. Another possibility is that it has caused some pressure on one of the large veins behind the knee causing swelling at both the leg in the ankle. I would see an orthopedic surgeon to help make a diagnosis and guide treatment.

You should : See a doctor, a clot in the calf should be ruled out.

Be careful: That could part the symptoms of baker cyst but very often we see that, baker cyst if it is too big could cause pressure on the veins in the upper leg and cause that, again not very often. The thing i want you to worry about some time this could be duo to blood clots in the leg(dvt) please check it out asap. That could be due to baker cyst.
