  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK430774/

  A Baker’s cyst is a fluid-filled sac that forms in the popliteal fossa, which is located on the posterior aspect of the knee. In adults, Baker’s cysts are commonly associated with degenerative conditions of the knee, and patients may present with tightness, discomfort, or pain behind the knee. […] The presence of a Bakers Cyst may be associated with a sensation of tightness, discomfort, or pain behind the knee. Swelling may be more evident when the patient is standing with full extension at the knee. Swelling tends to be reduced or disappear as the knee is flexed to 45 degrees (Foucher’s sign occurs due to the relief of tension on the cyst). Pain often worsens with increased activity and may inhibit full flexion or extension at the knee. […] As a Baker’s Cyst enlarges, it may compress surrounding vessels, resulting in lower extremity edema as a result of venous obstruction. If the cyst begins to enlarge into the calf muscle (i.e., dissecting cyst), this too can result in swelling, erythema, distal edema, and a positive Homan’s sign – similar to what one might expect to see in a patient presenting with thrombophlebitis or a deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

  https://www.knieschmerzen-wien.at/bakers-cyst-en.html

  The symptoms of a Baker’s cyst depend on the size of the cyst and the load on the knee joint. Large cysts are usually easily palpable in the back of the knee. Baker’s cysts can cause a pressure-sensitive swelling, a feeling of tension and pain in the back of the knee. If the knee joint is subjected to increased stress, the production of synovial fluid usually causes the Baker’s cyst to enlarge and the symptoms to increase. After rest, the symptoms usually decrease or disappear completely. Pressure from the Baker’s cyst on nearby nerves or vessels can cause numbness or circulatory problems in the affected leg. Very large Baker’s cysts can lead to restricted movement in the knee joint. If a Baker’s cyst bursts, there may be sudden severe pain in the knee joint and subsequently inflammatory reactions in the knee and lower leg.

  The symptoms caused by a popliteal cyst are usually mild. You may have aching or tenderness with exercise or your knee may feel unsteady, as though it’s going to give out. You may feel pain from the underlying cause of the cyst, such as arthritis, an injury, or a mechanical problem with the knee, for instance a tear in the meniscus.

It is common for a popliteal cyst to swell and shrink over time. […] Sometimes a cyst will suddenly burst underneath the skin, causing pain and swelling in the calf. A ruptured popliteal cyst gives symptoms just like those of a blood clot in the leg, called thrombophlebitis. For this reason, it is important to determine right away the cause of the pain and swelling in the calf. Once the cyst ruptures, the fluid inside the cyst simply leaks into the calf and is absorbed by the body. In this case, you will no longer be able to see or feel the cyst. However, the cyst will probably return in a short time.

Symptoms may include sharp pain in the knee and calf, swelling or erythema of the calf, and a sensation that feels like water running down the calf. […] Cyst rupture also may lead to additional complications and associated symptoms. These can include (1) entrapment of the posterior tibial nerve (eg., posterior plantar numbness and calf pain), (2) occlusion of the popliteal artery (e.g., lower extremity edema), and (3) anterior (e.g. foot drop and edema of the anterolateral leg) or posterior (e.g. plantar dysesthesia, weakness of toes, swelling of the calf, and pain worse with passive toe extension) compartment syndrome.
