A member asked:
How quickly do lumbar synovial cysts develop? nothing on mri 12/4/18. large cyst on mri 3/4/19. do they usually grow that fast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: No, that would be very unusual. Sometimes the cuts of the mri can miss a cyst from one scan to the other. You would also want to verify that both films are actually of you and not someone else. Typically synovial cysts usually develop much slower than that, although it ia possible.
