Ganglion cyst in right knee under nerve
I am having a ganglion cyst in my right knee joint and the nerve passing over it. I am bearing the pain for last 4 years. Went through a surgery in December 18 to get rid of the cyst. However, recently started having pain again. MRI reflects that the cyst has reoccured. My doctor says no treatment except for another deep surgery which i am skeptical about due to the occurrence nature of the cyst. Is there any solution available to this?
Thanks!!
