suffering from the Bakers cyst behind my left knee...i have arthritis in that knee, and as a result, the cyst formed, collecting fluid from the knee...it must be about the size of my fist right now, and not really all that painful, it is very uncomfortable when i sit, and many times, interferes with my walking and standing..
i had an appointment with the specialist last month, but i rescheduled due to the impending blizzard to april...
from with my PCP told me, it might get drained out, then to get a shot of steroids for the knee..........but i was also told, the cyst many times, refills...and the merry-go-round commences..........
i hope he just does not say..."time for a knee replacement"........
when i lay down, i am fine, when i walk i feel good after the first few steps......
its the sitting that is bothersome.
