Hi,dear ,Scotts,thanks for the query to my HCM virtual online clinic.Its my pleasure to help you .After the indepth study of your query My diagnosis -is -MB Cyst in rt knee.Cause of this lump-is the repeated miniscal and ligamental traumas / with resultant arthritis -is most probably the cause of this MB Cyst.Increase in it size after or during the football play-is due to the pressure changes while playing and increased joint fluid pressing it out more and flaring it up more.Still on safer side I advise you to Consult a ER Ortho-Surgeon.Dont worry and act fast.This would solve your worrysome query.Hope this would solve your query.Wellcome to my HCM clinic once again.Have a Good Day.
