Cortisone shot after TKR

So this is my second (actually third...long story) knee replacement and I have a seemingly fluid based lump near my incision site. I am seven months out from my last surgery and until I developed this lump, was flying through recovery. In addition to being ugly, it's painful to the touch and keeps me needing to wear a sleeve whenever I walk any distance. Is this a "baker's cyst?" Never heard that term before. I don't see my doctor again for five more months but really want this thing gone.

A baker's cyst is usually located behind the knee on and you can feel it behind the knee. It feels like a small golf ball to me. I have a fluid pocket on the left side of my knee and PT said it was inflammation or some fluid so the used a scraper on my leg to release the fascia and move the fluid elsewhere. Hoping that works.
