A member asked:
Will a cyst or a damaged bursa sac under the knee cause a lymph node around the knee to swell?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection?: Lymph nodes typically swell near sites of infection. An infected knee bursa could cause nearby lymph nodes to swell. Potential infections should always be evaluated by a physician.
