Mild symptoms can often be controlled by avoiding activities that trigger them. […] However, if the cyst is large and causes pain, you may need treatment. […] A nonprescription pain reliever, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) can reduce pain and inflammation.

  Baker’s cysts, also known as popliteal cysts, are one of the most common disorders in the knee. These fluid-filled cysts form a lump at the back of the knee that often causes stiffness and discomfort.

The bursa then swells and bulges, forming a Baker’s cyst. […] If the cyst becomes very large, it can interfere with blood flow in the veins of your leg. This can cause pain, swelling, weakness, or even numbness if there is nerve compression. Very rarely, the cyst can even burst.
