A member asked:
Could a "partially ruptured bakers cyst" cause pain down to heel? and what is the treatment for that?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes it could: When you rupture a baker cyst, the fluids go down by gravity into the calf muscle and sometime cause pain in the calf muscles area.
