Baker's cyst?: This is a problem that necessitates a face-to-face meeting with your doctor. This will allow him/her to examine you, ask specific questions. And possibly order tests to find out what's wrong and what to do to help you.

Knee pain: Altough I am not an orthopedic surgeon, my own knee problems have given me reason to become familiarized with problems that affect the knee. This phenomenon of pain when crouching and when standing errect can represent a baker's cyst. This is a cyst that develops from a synovial pouch that extends into the tissues just behing the knee. It fills when standing errect and when crouching.
