What Does A Painful Small Cyst Under The Knee Cap Indicate?

I have a small cyst under my knee cap which is painful when I go up and down stairs. What can be done? I took one month of Celebrex and it helped while I was doing PT. When I stopped the PT and a week later stopped the Celebrex, the pain in my knee came back. I am taking Celebrex again and hope it is only for this next month or so. What are alternatives because I do not want to be on Celebrex very long. I am also taking Losartan for HB. YYYY@YYYY

Hello,

It could be due to common conditions like bakers cyst or other harmless orthopaedic conditions. Consult an orthopaedic and plan for an MRI scan.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
