Hello,

Does anyone know how long it can take for a Bakers cyst to form? Can it
form over a 2-3 weeks period after a trauma (torn meniscus) or would it
be a degenerative thing over time in a 43 year old?

Thanks.

Kevin

it's an either/or situation - since there are several 'root cuases'
possible - the spped of formation will depend upon the precipitating
factors
