A member asked:

I have minor swelling in one calf mainly in the area right slightly below the knee. no apparent swelling in ankles or feet. no pain or redness.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Swelling Causes: Swelling behind the knee could be a strain or ligament injury. It could be phlebitis. It could also be a cyst called a Baker's cyst. The best course would be to see your family doctor, orthopedist or podiatrist for evaluation. A physical exam and possibly X-rays or an MRI can answer your questions.
