Hi, I have 2 lumps in the back of my knees, that I have been told were pockets of fluid called "baker's cysts". However, after being put on diuretics for fluid retention, they never decreased and are still there. One bigger and more pronounced than the other. There is no pain issues with it at all. I've had another dr say that it's just "fat" cells that have collected in that spot. Therefore, I want to know, if it is indeed fat, will liposuction be of any benefit back there? Thanks.
