I did not know there were Lymph Nodes behind the knee

My Orthopedic Dr said I have Arthritic Knee but I feel Lumps behind it and the Cortisone shot did not take away the pain..Please if you have had this let me know

I am on Watch & Wait right now at my Cancer Center

We have about 500 lymph nodes throughout our body with those behind the knees termed popliteal lymph nodes: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popli...

You should discuss this pain with your CLL specialist.

It is possible they are baker’s cysts.

I have a very tender popliteal (behind the knee) lump. It is a Baker’s Cyst. Best of luck!
