Looking for typical healing times for a ruptured Baker's cyst.
If anyone has experienced this please share any tips on living with it throughout healing time. I am in otherwise good health and physically active (well - not with this going on).
Thanks!

 Hi reallydolly,
"Baker's Cyst" If you are referring to a cyst that develops behind the knee, occasionally they may rupture, cause pain, swelling, and bruising on the back of the knee and calf. According to the research I have read, the median resolving time is approximately 20 months. However if there is a questionable nature to the development of this particular cyst other disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis should also be ruled out.
Sincerely,
Rntdj
