Cyst?
I went to the doctor a few days ago & they found this lump on the side of my knee. They doctor said he thought it was some type of cyst that they could either remove or give me some type of shot, but I'm having an MRI wednesday just to make sure.
I don't get it, though. How can a shot get rid of it? & I run track starting in a week or so. If they do surgery, does that mean I can't run track?

I jus got three cysts removed from my tailbone a little over two weeks ago. Mind did not penetrate my skin so when the surgeon removed them, he did not stitch me. He has been havin me pack it with gauze, remove it, and repack it until the wound heals. This is so the cysts won't grow back. If i didnt get the surgery and if you indeed have a cyst, then at any time it can come through your skin. It will get really large and fill with fluid. This will be really painful. The worst part is if this does happen, you will need to go to the hospital so they can cut it so it can drain it and they will not numb you or knock you out first. They will just cut you. There is no telling when it will come through your skin, but it definitely will. There are no ways to get rid of cysts besides surgery, so im not sure what your doctor was talking about with the shot. Definitely ask him. If it is a cyst, please get the surgery done right away so at least you'll be in less pain then them having to cut you when your conscious. You will be in too much pain to run and you will be told not to until you the wound heals. Your health is more important then track though, so you need to take action to take care of yourself; make sure you dont have to deal with the worse. I hope you don't have to go through what i am still going through. Whatever the lump is, I hope you take care of it and that you heal quickly and successfully so you can get back to running. Good Luck. I wish you the best and if you need anything else im here.

You probably won't be able to right away depending on when you get the surgery and when track starts. Talk to the coach and the doctor though.

why dont you ask them instead? I think you'll be able to run track though, but I think the doctors know better than them just ask which is better for you to run track. =)
