A member asked:
74 yo vascular dementia, swelling in knee told it was a blood clot after blood work. given u/s now saying its a cyst - could it be only a cyst ? what is best course of action?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely to be a clot if knee swelling, condition seems to be related to the knee joint and X-rays followed by a knee tap may help. Best to follow up with primary care doc/team.
