Patient: Our 15 year old daughter has been having difficulty bearing weight on her knee as it collapses. She started having difficulty and was walking on the leg then started having intermit problems to every time she stands with weight her knee collapses. Recently she experienced numbness with severe pain following. Could this be caused by a cyst that is 9cm x 6 cm x 3 cm? Doctor: Hi.... all these symptoms or explainable if there is a cyst of the measurements that you have quoted. If this is the case, I suggest that you see an orthopaedic surgeon as soon as possible.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
