I've been dealing with pain in my legs for the past 23 days and it's pretty concerning. I've had similar leg pains before, especially when I sit right under a fan or AC. Could that be a cause? What do you think might be going on?

I have been discovered with bakers cyst 12 cm in backside of my knee ...the knee hurts and calf muscles have swelled ...I am on medication for osteoarthritis. Will the cyst go away on its own and if drained by syringe will it come back Do I need surgery
A 12 cm Baker's cyst at the back of the knee can be large, causing pain and swelling, and may be related to osteoarthritis. While some Baker's cysts resolve on their own, this one may need treatment, possibly including aspiration (draining with a needle), and surgery is rarely needed. If drained, the cyst can return if the underlying knee problem isn't addressed.
