What Is a Baker's Cyst?

A Baker's cyst (also called a popliteal cyst) is a fluid-filled swelling behind the knee joint, often linked to arthritis or cartilage damage. It can cause stiffness, pressure, or even radiating pain down the calf. While some resolve on their own, using a knee brace can reduce swelling and discomfort-especially if you remain active.
