Hi Shirmin,

My sister had one on the back of her hand/wrist. It was exactly like you said. The doctors suggested removing the water via syring. She didn't go for that and she used the Homeopathy medicine and the cyst was cured in few months.

Sharmin:
Thanks Sajid, do you know what medication your sister used? 
I will let you all know what the doctor tells us next week. 

Thanks again Andy and all of my friends!   :hugfriend

Andy Battaglia:
Hi Sharmin,

I would suggest 100 IU daily of vitamin E complex. Best results come with using the complex which is a mix of tocopehrols. Natural E is superior to synthetic so look for d-alpha and not dl-alpha tocopherol. 500-1000 mcg (micrograms) of folic acid daily would be sufficient at his age. Some adult majors take as high as 10 mg daily.

As far as the Baker's cyst, it may possibly be related to his athletics, as they are common among athletes. Again, this would be nothing to be concerned about, especially if it causes no pain. Painless cysts are usually allowed to resolve on their own.

Sharmin:
Thanks again Andy - we will be going in for a transfusion tomorrow - at that time the doctor will share the results of the ultrasound with us and let us know what is going on & what his action plan is.  So far everything he has said has been in line with what you are saying. 

I will share the results with you also I will share his ferritin levels.

Sharmin
