I believe I have a cyst on the top of my ankle that has gotten larger recently. I am very active and walk a lot. It began early a couple of years ago when I bumped that area . My concern is that it is becoming sensitive when walking and we are leaving on a two week trip. I do have an appt when returning. Is there anything to prevent more swelling. ?
Hiuse ankle brace for 3 weeks and avoid excessive walking. Take Alive twice a day for 2 weeks. An X-ray should be done. Consult an orthopedic doctor. There should be a diagnosis whether it is in bone or soft tissues' treatment is done according to location. Excision and grafting in bone may be required
