Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a bakers cyst on the back of my knee. I hurt my knee a year ago and i got diagnosed with the cyst. It causes pain but i dont think that is it. I have tingling and swelling. Also i have symptoms of a mencius tear but it doesnt show up on a MRI. Do you know whats wrong?
Baker's cyst is an incidental finding found at the time of your examination by the doctor 1 yr back.This cyst is usually Bilateral and may not be painful.
If your MRI report doesn't suggest meniscal tear , i advice u to get this MRI SCAN reported again by another radiologist as very small meniscal tears can be missed.Till then pls keep your knee in ful rest with the help of a LONG leg knee brace.

How To Treat Bakers Cyst?
HI , Welcome to healthcare magic , Baker s cyst is an incidental finding found at the time of your examination by the doctor 1 yr back.This cyst is usually Bilateral and may not be painful. IF u r feeling the pain , then it may be due to soft tissue injury to the knee or even due to meniscal injury. If your MRI report doesn t suggest meniscal tear , i advice u to get this MRI SCAN reported again by another radiologist as very small meniscal tears can be missed.Till then pls keep your knee in ful rest with the help of a LONG leg knee brace.
