Baker's cyst: You may have had a baker's cyst which is a cyst that occurs behind the knee. If it ruptured you may have bruising and swelling related to this. Baker's cysts usually require no treatment unless they are symptomatic. You should have this evaluated by a doctor. You can consult with a doctor at health tap as well.
