Re: INFO - On Baker's cyst

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I had knee surgery in August actually before they finally diagnosed

me with RA and I had a Baker's cyst on that knee as well. IS this

common in RA patients? I figured you had more history with this

group and I wondered how often you had seen it in RA patients.

After they relieved the pressure off the front of my knee and

removed some debris and spurs or smoething and did a lateral

release, the cyst seemed to dissipate. It is a lot less painful

now, just the usual RA pain which is everywhere, not just there as

you know. Well, let me know what you think. I know you are not an

MD, but you know you probably could become one with all of your

knowledge! We do appreciate it. and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope it was a

good one.
