A member asked:
Are there circumstances where the body is unable to resorb the fluid from a ruptured baker's cyst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Slowed: There are circumstances like impaired lymphatic flow that can complicate fluid resorption. But assuming fluid isn't continually produced eventually the fluid will be resorbed.
