Question: There is a swollen fluidy sac like on the left side of my right leg. It is very painful; sometimes more sometimes less. Often the pain is very quick and very Painful. I tend to rub the sac like position of the leg to ease the pain. I haven't questioned the doctor to tell him of this condition.
