A member asked:

Diagnosed with bakers cyst after 8 months of painful swollen left leg. d dimer test was negative for dvt. still anxious about having a dvt. can a bakers cyst cause bad symptoms? should i not worry about dvt? i'm a 21 yr old female

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bakers cyst: A bakers cyst could cause a DVT in people who are predisposed to have coagulation problems. You should not be worried about a DVT if there are not risk factors for it. For example, taking birth control pills predisposes patients to have coagulation problems. A DVT usually causes symptoms like pain and edema.
