Yes, according to the information provided, some people with Rheumatoid Arthritis and a condition known as Baker's cyst have reported experiencing calf pain. This can occur when the tibial nerve behind the leg becomes "trapped" under pressure. Additionally, a ruptured Baker's cyst can leak synovial fluid into the calf area, causing redness, warmth, and pain or the sensation that water is running down your calf. It's important to seek medical attention if you're experiencing these symptoms, as they can also resemble those of a blood clot in a vein in the leg.
