A member asked:

What is bone cyct.and what is its consequences?is it necessary if i have a swollen sac inside the bones in my left ankle.please i need your helpppppp?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Biopsy it: I would ask for a biopsy. Most of the biopsies of the bone can be done with a jamshidi needle (small needle with minimal down time). Once a correct diagnosis is confirmed then a better treatment option could be discussed.

Dr Hettinger and another doctor agreed
