Is Cyst Common Problem For Athletes?

Hello. My son has a small cyst that he was treated for with cipro. It was opened then closed up. He is a college baseball player and the weird thing is, two other baseball players on his team, got them at the same time. One team mate had surgery. This past week, the team physician said my son needs to have his surgically opened again and cleaned out, then packed. My question is, What is the recoup period and is this a common problem amongst athletes? Is it coinsidental that other team mates got the samething, same time?

I have gone through your question. You have not mentioned the location of the cyst. In athletes, joint bursa is common condition because of the increase wear and tear of joints. The treatment of which is surgical excision, if it is large enough and bothering the patient. You need to tell us, the location of the cyst, when and why he was operated. What problem is it causing. Only then we will be able to help you in a useful way.

I hope my answer will help you. Do rate it, if you like it.
