How to treat cyst on fibula and swelling around talus?
Patient: Dear Doctor, I have a cyst on  the right side of my fibula and my talus area is swollen.. the cyst (also swollen) is painless, however when I squeezed it , there is a lot of clear liquid oozing out of it. I will feel very painful (the talus area) when I walk. What should I do to remove this problem? Doctor: Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.  I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.If the cyst is oozing you need to get that cultured and evacuated completely before it gets infected and spreads into your joint. You also should clean it daily and keep it covered so bacteria from outside does not contaminate it. See your primary doctor certainly for further recommendations and possibly antibiotics.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards, Dr. Samuel Parmar
