Does anyone have a cyst in there ankle due to RA
I have a cyst in my right elbow - i'm just waiting to have another steroid injection in November ,my second .If it doesn't work this time then i'm being referred for surgery and to be honest i just want it gone, i'm right handed and it's a ****** nuisance at the moment.Hope the steroids work for you
Take care
I've had a bursa in my ankle - near my achilles tendon - not sure if that's similar, it was described as an accumulation of fluid. It was agony but with icing, rest and stretches along with anti-inflammatories it seems to be very much better now - I could hardly walk for pain when it was at it's worst though.
Hope your improves soon.
I had a cyst behind my left knee which burst of its own accord and left me with a very swollen leg and the hospital (and me) panicking it was DVT. It was after a long haul flight to California. Ultra sound was done and it showed the burst cyst. Was advised to keep my leg raised to allow it to drain back and see GP when I got home. That was really the start of RA for me.
Can highly recommend Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego - nothing too much trouble, very helpful,kind and reassuring and my medical insurance covered the costs. They even ordered a taxi to take me back to the Hotel.
Hope your cyst gets resolved soon. It may burst as mine did but the steroids should help I would think. LavendarLady x
I get Cyst's in my joints, not sure if that is the same thing? and also had bursitis, but all part of our conditions i think
