Today I got the results of my ultra sound, and have had a Bakers Cyst confirmed, with possible meniscal tear. Now have to wait to see the orthopaedic surgeon, and get an MRI to decide what to do.
The knee and leg is very swollen and painful, and I've been told to elevate the leg as much as possible and to avoid weight bearing exercise.
I've read all I can find about the cyst, and I get that now, but no one says how much rest is rest! As every step is weight bearing, am I OK walking round the house, (please say washing up is bad) taking the dog out, running marathons. Any one got any ideas?
