Symptoms of BAKER'S CYST
Baker's cysts may initially be asymptomatic or produce only mild discomfort. As the cysts enlarge, however, the tibial nerve may become compressed. This produces numbness or tingling in the sole of the foot and weakness in the flexors of the ankle. The veins may become clotted, leading to pain, tenderness, and swelling in the calf. Associated knee pain or decreased range of motion of the knee may be due to the cyst or the underlying disorder affecting the knee joint.
