    Jane you must have read my mind! I came here just to ask and check if anyone else has the same issue. For a couple of days now I am having a tight, pulling sensation behind knee. I feel a lump sometimes and sometimes not.

    A google search said it could be Baker's cyst due to fluid build up from knee. My knee seem to be working just fine, only felt a twinge a few times when I was out during the weekend. So don't know the reason for the tightness and the lump. As most, I do work from home and am sitting in front of the computer for long stretches, so I was wondering that it could be due to inactivity.

    Hope someone else can answer if they had something similar. I am both getting worried and trying to take it as "normal" menopause thing....

    Lets wait and see.
