It could be the beginning of A Baker%26#039;s cyst, also called a popliteal cyst, is usually the result of a problem with your knee joint, such as arthritis or a cartilage tear. Both conditions can cause your knee to produce too much fluid, which can lead to a Baker%26#039;s cyst. Up to one in five people with other knee problems may develop a Baker%26#039;s cyst. Put the knee up with an ice bag and take some Aleve. Refrain from over excertion while swimming untill the problem goes away. If you get a sack of fluid buildup behind the knee then the doctor will have to drain it. Go see the doctor if the pain persists.
