MDJunction to me

"For me, MDjunction has been a place where I can share my experiences
living with the very rare bone disease called Ollier's ( Enchondromatosis ) with the parents of children recently diagnosed. I can help them not to run
into the pitfalls my parents did when I was young, give them a bit of a view
from their child's perspective and simply be there to offer support and
hope to people who are scared and just had their lives upended. I also belong to a chronic pain group and it's been a Godsend to be able to actually
talk with others who understand what I'm dealing with. Besides them helping me through my tough times, I can be there to help them as well. Here too, I can use my years of experience to help others avoid pitfalls and it makes me feel good, gives my life more purpose. MDjunction brings people
together when their suffering, at their darkest and feeling alone in this world and allows some light to be brought back into their lives. HOPE, that's what
MDjunction means to me!

Baker's Cyst

In a 24 hour period, I had two trips to the doctor's office and one trip to the ER and zero sleep. The pain in my leg has been incredible. And although my knee hurt, the majority of the pain came from my leg.

Xrays showed that knee has Osteo Arthritis and Blood tests indicated a blood clot but the subsequent ultrasound showed no clot. Instead they found two Bakers Cysts behind the knee -- apparently not all that uncommon in arthritis. One cyst is the size of golf ball. The other is the size of a softball and is pushing on my calf. Next, I'll be seen in Orthopedics.

Has anyone here had experience with Bakers Cysts?
