Suggest Treatment For Severely Painful Lump Behind Knee When Diagnosed With RA
I have rheumatoid arthritis yesterday I had a golf ball size lump pop out the back of my knee which was so painful my leg was so tight I couldn t bend it. You could hold the lump in your hand, I massaged the back of the leg took pain killers and went to bed. It was painful all night but this morning it seemed to have just gone back in. As the day has gone on it s come out again but not as bad

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, here the chances of popliteal cyst is very likely and this need to be ruled out and in my opinion better to have opinion from orthopaedic surgeon, till then it can be managed with Tab Diclofenac 50 mg once in day, hope this information helps, take care.
