A member asked:
I had a surgery in feb to remove a cyst on right knee. it was non-cancerous.today i see it starting to come back. they said it might.. but this fast?

Yes.: A baker's cyst is caused by an underlying knee problem, usually arthritis. Since the arthritis isn't removed by the surgery, the cyst can reform. Inflammation in the knee joint causes increased fluid and that pushes the joint lining out, forming, or re-forming the cyst. They can be very persistent.
