Hi! I had arthoscopic surgery to clean up my knee cap 4 weeks ago. I am in Physical Theraphy now and my PT noticed I have a Bakers Cyst, she said they usually surgically remove them. Well after just having surgery that is not what I wanted to hear. Then I got on the web and have researched a bit and most sites say they don't always remove them but sometimes drain them. Question is do most need to be removed by surgery or do they most often just drain them?
