Thankyou for the resources. There was no trauma before the pain started happening and definitely no sensation of a pop in my leg. If my tendon or muscle had ruptured wouldn't the pain be constant and not come and go so randomly? No evidence of a bakers cyst has been found.

You mentioned you have lost some weight and what your BMI is. Do you have diabetes or are you pre-diabetic? I was reading about how BMI may affect knee joint/muscle connections and MRI results. See this link for more information.

I have a high BMI and believe it has caused me many issues with nerves/skin/muscle connections/tendons, etc. Extra fat tissue places more pressure on tissues and joints and may cause micro injury and fluid retention over time.

For example, I had significant hip pain and had a MRI show I have bilateral gluteal tendinopathy plus bilateral hamstring high grade partial tears and have no idea how this happened. I did not have a traumatic fall or accident to cause this. My thoughts are that my weight, sitting for long periods for years due to my desk job, plus my cervical myelopathy spinal cord compression injury (making/controlling movement of limbs more difficult), this caused pressure/compression injuries to my muscles/tendons over time. I am also hypermobile which may have played a role, too.

Do you have hypermobile joints?
