Will A Needle Procedure To Remove A Painful Mass On Knee Work?
I have a mass like tumor in my inner left knee that was diagnosed by a specialist. I have a photo of it if anyone wants to see it but he wants to go in with a needle and I guess suck it out. Then fill that void with my own blood. Will this procedure actually work? This thing in my knee is very painful.

Hi!
I read carefully your query.
I think that you may have liquid in the knee or may have any synovial cyst but to diagnose that you should do knee MRI and than to consult with orthopedist or rheumatologist .
Till there you should use some pain killer and do not strain yourself.
Wish you fast recovery.
