What Is The Large Lump Behind My Knee?
I had an arthroscopy of my knee 3-1/2 weeks ago and a meniscal tear shaved off. In the last couple of days I have noted a lump behind my knee on the back side of my leg. It feels about the size of an egg. Could this be an infection, blood clot, Baker s cyst. It is warm to the touch.
