Bakers cyst is synovial extension from knee synovium.There is collection of synovial fluid which is intra-articularly connected. If cyst is small it can be managed conservatively with medication.
If you have persistent pain and large swelling then you may need surgical excision.
Do not worry about rupture of cyst.if on rupture pain has reduced then do nothing.
