Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a meniscal cyst. If the cyst causes discomfort you may take anti-inflammatory medications or cortisone injections in the knee to reduce inflammation.
Usually, it goes away on its own, but it can take months or even years.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
