What Is The Growing Huge Lump In The Back Of The Knee?

About 1 month ago my knee was hurting and it gave out a couple of times. I noticed a golf ball size lump in the back of my knee. Didn't pay to much attention to it. Only hurted once in a while. Know the lump is a size of a tennis ball and it hurts daily. What could this be and should I have it checked out?

Hi.
This is a baker's cyst unless proved otherwise.
Visit an Orthopedic Surgeon and plan for a surgery after MRI if the Surgeons needs it.
Aspiration and many other things have been tried but failure and complication rates are high.
A good Surgery is the best option.
