A member asked:

My right knee hurts the back side really bad hurts wen i walk touch or rub it. what could the cause be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pain behind knee: When the focal area of knee pain is in the back (called the "poplieteal fossa"), one disorder to suspect is a large cyst behind the knee joint, which is known as a baker's cyst. An ultrasound test can be used to confirm this. Treatment is either wait and watch or surgical removal of the cyst.
