Ganglion cyst

Asked for Female, 34 years

In the year 2016 I was diagnosed with a meniscal cyst with meniscus tear, went through arthroscopy, continued with physiotherapies for almost 10 months but was not able to climb stairs then I asked my doc to go for an MRI. In my MRI report they found another cyst called ganglion cyst and I am suggested a surgery with no assurance of developing a cyst for the third time.

Dear Patient,

A ganglion cyst is painless and harmless. Unless its causing some symptoms you should let it be and not treat it.
A small meniscal tear post-arthroscopy normally has minimal consequences. Im unsure as to why you are unable to climb stairs. Ganglion cysts appear in areas of overuse. We cannot guarantee more cysts won't appear but what we can tell you is you can take a second opinion from one of our specialists, look them up on our main page and take your reports to them, your problem may have a simple solution.
