A member asked:
Is there signs to warn you that a popliteal cyst is gonna rupture and if it does what do you do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: Large popliteal cysts are more prone to rupture than large one as are ones that are large and more acute ( less likely for chronic large ones). If you feel more pain behind your knee or feel the pain progressing 'down your leg'see your ors... Other diagnoses should be 'ruled out ' before you assume it's a ruptured cyst . Best of luck.
