Review No.3

I was very surprised when once again, when I came to the doctor with pain in my legs, I heard a diagnosis of the cyst of the knee joint. Starting to ask the doctor about why she appeared? I did not hear a clear answer. After coming home she rummaged through the Internet and found out that the nature of the origin of cysts has not been studied by science. In the list of causes, she found trauma. Who among us did not fall in childhood? And in the period of youth and do not notice such a fall, apparently in vain! Due to the fact that my cyst was large, the doctor saw only the only way to get rid of it: surgery. This decision sounded to me like a verdict. However, after reading about the possible consequences, I still agreed to an operation. Now I do not regret anything. Firstly, I can again actively move and this does not cause me any discomfort. Do not be ill!!!
