Knee pain: Just because you have pain behind your knees, does not mean baker cysts. There is more history needed to know. Is this the first time its happening. Did you walk, exercise, picked up heavy things the previous day etc. Also calf pain is more worrisome for blood clot than knee pain. If your pain is not improving, getting worse, then seek medical attention. A HealthTap Doctor Consult could be a start
