Hello,
Consult an orthopedic and get evaluated. You can opt for either aspiration or surgical excision. Aspiration is a relatively simple procedure in which the fluid from the cyst aspirated using a needle. the problem with aspiration is that there is always a chance for recurrence. Excisions involves complete the removal of the the cyst. Here the recurrence is rare.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
