A member asked:
My dad is 61 and recently had meniscus surgery which lead to bakers cyst he has had it drained 3 times and continues to come back and is painful?

Varies: A bakers cyst is a herniation of the posterior knee capsule in between two tendons in the back of the knee. Hopefully, as your father gets further away from his surgery and his swelling improves, the cyst will resolve. If not, he may need more aggressive options. Thanks.
