Yes: Cysts can form from the synovial lining of tendon sheaths. A common site for such cysts is the wrist. It would be prudent to see a rheumatologist. Wish you good health!

Whats the difference between a bakers cyst & a myxoid tumor behind the knee? Could a myxoid tumor be misdiagnosed as a bakers cyst? If a myxoids background is composed of clear, mucoid substance- couldnt it be confused with one on an ultrasound?

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?
