My 4 year old son has a golf ball size Bakers cyst behind right knee. Dr. has referred us to an Orthopedic surgeon--Appt is in another month. He's an extremely active 4 year old. The cyst has gotten a little bigger since we first noticed it. He doesn't complain of pain, but if there was any numbness, pressure or something, I'm not sure he'd be able to articulate that. What have others experienced with young kids and this cyst? What treatment options were you given? I'm also wondering if it does need surgery, will they put him out?, Also how long is recovery time for a surgery? What about meds? Keeping him off bike, scooter, out of dirt/sand box would be a challenge. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
