I tore my medial meniscus and MCL about 6 months ago. There's a hard and sometimes painful lump on the inside of my knee that my surgeon identified as a meniscal cyst this week. His advice was to try not to do anything that would put undue pressure on my knee, such as heavy squats, but to leave it to heal on it's own in time. I feel I have been doing everything I can to let it heal over the last 6 months, and although it's not as painful as it was, it seems to be as big and hard as when it happened 6 months ago. Has anyone had experience of meniscal cycts? Did they eventually go away of their own accord? Was there anything you did that seemed to help? Thanks for your help.
