deuie....I will tell you about an experience that I had.
I had a complication after my total knee replacement which was terribly painful. The pain was primarily in the back of my knee on the outside area. I spent months sleeping only 3 hours at night. I saw several well-respected orthopedists and finally I went to an orthopedic clinic in another state, and they took an ultrasound and immediately saw that I had a rare extra bone. The bone is called a fabella bone. Many good orthopedists did not even consider this diagnosis. This was not a problem for me until I had the knee replacement. I had surgery to remove this little fabella bone and the pain went completely away.
I think it is always a good idea to get 2nd opinions if you can.
Hopefully someone else on this sight knows more about the possibility of a Bakers cyst causing this problem.

You are so right when you say to get a second, even third or fourth opinion. When I had continued pain after a fall, I went to three, different orthopedic surgeons. Looking briefly at my MRI, each one said essentially the same thing: "There's nothing to be done. Just learn to live with it". It wasn't until I found a good neurologist much later that I found the combination of drugs that gave me my life back. You were wise to keep searching.
