Hi, first time I read about this. I also have one behind my right knee, had it for some 12 years now. I saw a specialist about it, as a matter of fact he was the one to do that kind of surgery. He told me if he was me he would not get the operation because when it comes to your knee, after such a surgery your knee will never be the same, you will always have pain and problems, that as long as it did not bother me, to just leave it as it. It's not cancerous either. So today I still have it. It has not grown any larger and is not really bothering me as sometimes I forget I have it until I bend my knee. Other than that, we are happy together. Good luck on your decision. As to what it is, it was explained to me but I am sorry, I forgot but I am sure you can fine something on the Internet about it. I never searched. |

If you go to an orthopedic surgeon, they will always recommend removing it. That is how a surgeon makes his money. Bakers cysts are harmless. If you can deal with the pain, just leave it alone. Bakers cysts are harmless. |
