When my son was born two years ago, my midwife sent me to the hospital thinking i had a DVT .When i got to the hospital and had a scan it turned out to be a Bakers Cyst. It was left and three weeks ago I went to the DR as i was getting swelling and pain in my leg ,and my DR sent me to a consultant and he wants me to go for a MRI , he thinks i have torn ligament . My question is if i have surgery ,how long will i be off my feet. What is the proses i cant find any info on the web sites , sorry it was long .
