Be seen: Probably would be best to be seen. A bakers cyst is one of the more common causes if swelling in the back of the knee. But because a blood clot can present in a similar fashion, is more common after injury, and is life threatening; you would be well served to let your doctor know immediately.

I have had left knee pain off and on for years and several years back a procedure was performed where shaving of some bone spurs was done. My knee pain has come and gone since.
