Dr. Michael Roman answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Usually: No intervention needed unless symptomatic. If problems occur. Rest and elevate leg. If you continue to have issues see an orthopedic doctor for eval. May drain it to help with the pain. Possibly inject the area with Cortisone Only in severe cases does it need to be removed.
