posterior knee pain

[jyoung]

Hi, I have a 38y.o woman who tried to return to working out (wt room stuff) 10 months following the birth of her baby. She appears in reasonably fit to start with. After the 2nd exercise session, she experienced pain, fullness in the popliteal fossa centro-medially especially with static standing. She thinks it may have been the hip extension machine where she felt a twinge.

She says it's been about a year now and although the pain is better the sensation of fullness is still there with standing, also popliteal fossa has some minor swelling on standing, possibly some sensation changes in the foot. Exercise does not make it better or worse.

Clinical findings: no joint swelling, lig. test neg, meniscus test neg. Ultrasound was negative for Baker's cyst. MRI showed no abnormalities.

Any ideas on what this might be would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
