This does not sound like a Baker's cyst and it is not possible to determine if it is a DVT without a venous duplex. I would recommend having a venous duplex of your right leg as soon as possible.

Compression hose should be correctly measured and fitted by someone with experience. OTC or TEDS are not appropriate with your history. I would advise 20-30 mmHg and perhaps a thigh-length. With your symptoms, you should be evaluated, including ultrasound of the deep and superficial systems to rule out venous insufficiency, DVT etc.
If this is a long-standing problem, I recommend patients to go to a hospital-based lymphedema clinic.
