Thanks for your reply, that is so amazing that your cyst shrunk and got reabsorbed. I’ve read this is a rare occurrence and from what I read online I think there’s just a few cases.

I hope that it won’t come back.

The "spontaneous" reabsorption of a symptomatic synovial cyst is considered a rare event. I don't know if it was spontaneous because I think the biologic I take called Actemra (tocilizumab) decreased the inflammation that caused the synovial cyst to form. This rare event was even more reason for why my rheumatologist is reluctant to ever discontinue Actemra.
