Pain in popliteal fossa

[ramywhite]

Hi pam formby and wutti,
Thank you both for your kind messages. But unfortunatly I am not treating that patient any longer. So, it will be very hard to distingush between that 2 possiblities(baker's cyst or popliteus). But, in fact, I'm facing those manifestations a lot. I read somewhere about popliteus muscle dysfunction and it recommends direct massage as a treatment. Do you know any other modalities or techniques to treat this muscle? Thank you again!

could have a tight graft as well. graft tightness will limit full flexion and full extension, but is usually felt as a generalised knee discomfort and restrictiion as opposed to specific popliteal pain.
Hamstring tendonitis, popliteal tendonitis, and course bakers cyst would all be more likely
