Tendonitis: Other causes of pain in the back of the knee can come from overuse syndromes. Hamstring tendonitis can be a cause and probably the most common cause. Tendonitis of the calf, popliteus muscle injury or strain, and posterior cruciate ligament injury are also possible causes. Referred nerve pain from the lower back can also cause posterior knee area. Get a good exam and possible MRI may be needed.

3 cm long mass on my R calf Soleus Muscle, and a 2nd 1cm mass 1" lower on my Soleus Muscle. Pain radiating to the toe, no redness, no warmth. Per Ultrasound, not a lipoma or blood clot. Can this be a Baker's Cyst? I'm thinking Soft Tissue Sarcoma?

I woke up to pain in the back of my right knee. I googled and it mentioned Baker Cyst but I do not see any lumps. Should I rest it and give it a few days before consulting with a doctor? Im on the pill so concerned about blood clots.. Thanks

Can RA, Adenomyosis (causes clotting) or a ruptured Baker's cyst cause elevated d-dimer. 2 US and neither found clot. Lump behind right knee, edema in calf and foot. Can't fully extend. No warmth or discoloration. Feels like water running down leg?
