Finally saw the Orthopedic surgeon today...
After waiting a month to see him, I finally got in to see the orthopedic surgeon this morning.
My left kneecap has no cartilage behind it and its displaced to the side. Surgery can be done to properly position the kneecap, but due to the selling in my leg it can't be done. He had no answer as to the cause of the swelling in my leg.
He did order injections of a lubricating fluid into the knee joint to reduce the irritation and those will start in two weeks.
As for the cyst, it's caused by the irritation of the joint and he's not going to directly treat the cyst, so I'm stuck with it for now.
I'm not real pleased with the lack of answers to date or solutions to the swelling in my leg, so I called my primary care doctor to let him know and maybe he can get better answers for me!
So that's it for now...
