This is posted for a colleague:
I have a very active bka, who wears a dermo liner, and gets cysts that
can drain enormous amounts of fluid from time to time.
He has been to the MD. and feels exploratory surgery would be the next
step. The patient is self employed and can't miss work.
Adjustments to raise the wall in the popliteal to try and contain the
cyst, did not work the wall then lowered below the cyst. This seemed
to work for a while.
Recently the patient came to office because he completely trashed his
OWW Pathfinder, they sent a loaner and within a day the cyst came back.
The alignment and pressure were the same as the broken foot had been.
The patient is questioning if anyone else has similar situations and
possible solutions other then surgery?
