Dear family,
I have just had an ultrasound confirming that I have a popliteal cyst (also known as a Baker's Cyst) on my left leg.
Over the last month I have experienced a swelling in my lower left leg between my ankle and lower calf, some sensation (not really pain) at the front right and also the rear of my knee.
I had a blood test to eliminate the possibility of DVT (success).
There have been some changes to my qigong practice over the last 6 months. I have introduced patterns from the 18 Lohan Arts, have regularly been practicing exercises from the Art of Flexible Legs, learning and practicing some Tajiquan (cloud hands grasp sparrow tail). A significant increase in movement has occurred in my legs over this time.
Since the initial swelling was noticed, I have been practicing Carry the Moon and Cosmic Shower several times a week as well as allowing patterns to come to my awareness just before a practice session as appropriate patterns. This has often delivered Divine Crane Rotates Knees, Nourishing Kidneys or Lifting the Sky. I have been continuing with the above-mentioned exercises on my morning session, 5 days out of 7.
[My current Qigong toolbox includes 18 Lohan Hands, Cosmic Shower, Flicking Fingers, Bone Marrow Cleansing and Small Universe.]
I will hear from my Doctor on next steps in the coming days.
I would sincerely appreciate any advice on the most cost effective method to accelerate healing this cyst?
Thank you for your advice and guidance.
Matthew
