Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Your symptoms are suggestive of Baker's cyst. Visit this site for info: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/bakers-cyst/symptoms-causes/syc-20369950 It would be prudent to see your doctor. Wish you good health!

Baker's cyst?: The most common cause of swelling behind the knee is called Baker's cyst. Usually harmless, but treatment is available (such as needle drainage and/or steroid injection) if the cyst becomes too large for comfort. (Google it for more information.) This has nothing to do with sweating of the hand, feet, or anywhere else. See a doctor if you remain concerned.
